-BORDERWORK CONCEALING KODGH ENDS WITH HOOPS 

 AND KNOTWORK. 



Cat. No. 232630, U.S.N.M. (fig. 4), is borderwork in which a row 



of stiff warps are turned down between two half hoops of rattan, 



the whole bound together by two series of Malay knotwork and the 



ugly gap between 

 the hoops covered 

 by three rows 

 of wrapped weft 

 done in the tops 

 of the turns in 

 the Malay knots. 

 The upper draw- 

 ing (a) shows 

 side view of the 

 warps, hoops, 

 knot series, and 

 the covering of 



the space between hoops. The lower (b) gives a top view of the 



three wrapped wefts so interlaced as to produce a three-strand braid 



effect on the upper 



turns of the knots. 

 Cat. Nos. 221510, 



221523, and 221513, 



U. 8. X. M., are 



brought together 



( fig. 5 ) to show the 



procedure from a 



simple turn in bor- 

 der to more com- 

 plex forms without 



recourse to knot- 

 work of any kind. 



It is wickerwork on 



warps in pairs. The 



border work in the 



upper d r a wing 



shows the bending 



down of one of 



each pair to the 



right, the other to 



the left, skipping 



t h e neighboring 



pair in each case and thrusting the ends into the wickerwork two 



warps away. 



In the middle drawing this border serves as the basis of twined 



work among the bends of the warps, the separate elements of the 



twine being stems in pairs. 



Ends of warps turned down for borderwork.
