feo.1631. VOCABULARY OF MALAYSIAN BASKETWORK— MASON. 4<) 



among the Andamanese, in which a weft makes one turn about each 

 war]) in passing ; another form in Oregon and the Andainans, in 

 which one strand of a twine goes straight and the other wraps about 

 it. Wrapped lattice is another name for it. (See Plate XVII and 

 iigs. 40, 41.) 



There are specimens of this single- wrapped weft in the Abbott 

 collections. Fig. 41 and Plate XVII show the general appearance of 

 the wrapped weft on whole rattan stems united with alternate finer 

 vertical warps on which the wrappings are also upright and sug- 

 gest the American Makah, or bird-cage technic. The half hitch- 

 ing and the overhand wrapping with the cutaway warps at the rim 

 must not be overlooked. The ten warp stems are bent V-shape and 

 cross on the bottoms. 



Cat. No. 2:21538, U.S.N.M., shown in fig. 40, is a genuine surprise, 

 an example of wrapped twinedwork from Simalur Island. The 

 three elements are present, as in the Makah work of the Vancouver 

 Island baskets, only the wrapping is done with stiller material. (See 

 Aboriginal American Basketry, pp. 235, 230.) 



Yarn. — Fibers loosely twisted together in 2-strand twine. 



Zigzag. — A broken line of equal angular portions, applied to struc- 

 ture or decoration. Dr. Edgar A. Mearns gave a carrying basket 

 from Mindanao having an open checker bottom. About the outer 

 row of checkers, in order to hold the parts firm for the upsett, is a 

 zigzag wrap in rattan, a turn and a half about each square. The 

 lacing doubles alternately on the back and on the front.
