Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A design made by allowing sand of different colors to fall from the hand over a surface, the colored sands forming the desired design. The sand-painting is, therefore, rather a sand-mosaic. Sand-paintings are used in the rituals of Indians of the southwestern territories, but they occur also among the Indians of the plains.
