The weaver also frequently constructs the bottom with 2 over 4 

 under 4 ; then when the sides are made he changes to 1 over 2 under 

 2. until the center is reached ; then 1 of the warp passes over 3 of the 

 weft; for the balance the stitch is 1 over 2 under 2. This variation 

 produces a chevron-like pattern which, in general, is known as binakol; 

 but when it is desired to designate more closely, this name is applied 

 to the weaving having an oblique effect (Fig. 19, No. 5), while the 

 horizontal is known as dinapdlig (Fig. 19, No. 6). 



Types of Baskets: — Plates LXVIII and LXIX show the most 

 common types of baskets made and used in this territory. Others of 

 Igorot and Kalinga origin sometimes appear, but are seldom imitated 

 by the local basket-makers. 



Baskets 1 and 2 of Plate LXVIII are known as kaba, and are used 

 principally to hold unthreshed rice, corn, and vegetables. Smaller 

 baskets of the same form are for broken rice and cooked vegetables. 

 The larger specimens are often made of rattan, while the smaller are 

 usually of bamboo. Shallow bamboo baskets, pidasen or alodan (Plate 

 LXIX, No. 2) are used as eating dishes for cooked rice. 



Clothing is put away in covered oval or rectangular baskets, oplgan 

 (Plate LXIX, No. 4), while cotton is stored in long cylindrical baskets 

 —kolang (Plate LXVIII, No. 3). 



The pasikeng or lag pi (Plate LXIX, No. 3), commonly called the 

 "head basket," is the chief basket of the men. It is made of rattan, and 

 is supported on the back by means of bands which pass over the shoul- 

 ders. In it are carried extra garments and all necessities for the trail. 

 Recently some of the men have joined together two of these baskets 

 by means of a wide, flat band, and this is fitted over the back of a 

 horse or carabao, — an evident imitation of the saddle bags used by 

 Spaniards and Americans. Men also carry small containers for their 

 pipes and trinkets, or else make use of a traveling basket, such as is 

 shown in Plate LXIX, No. 5. 



Rice winnowers and sieves (Plate LVII) and the fish-traps 

 shown in Fig. 13 conclude the list. No coiled baskets are made. 



Aside from the decoration produced by variations in the weave, 

 little ornamentation is found in the basketry from Abra, but the 

 Tinguian of Ilocos Norte make and distribute large quantities of 

 baskets with colored patterns. Colored vines are sometimes woven
