PLATE XXV. 



(Mason. Basket-work.) 



Fig. 47. Small coiled mush bowl of the Pai Utes, made by coiling a splint and thin 

 strip of yucca, bast, or osier, and whipping them with split osier. The 

 sowing passes over the two elements of the coil in progress and through 

 the upper element of the coil below, looping always under the subjacent 

 stitches. Ornamentation produced by working into the fabric triangles 

 with strips of martynia or dyed splints. The work is very regular and 

 the texture water-tight, resembling the work of the Apaches and Califor- 

 nia Indians. The fastening off on the margin is very prettily done by 

 whipping diagonally with two or three threads crossing one another. 

 Collected in Southern Utah, by J. W. Powell, in 1874. Museum number,

 of Fig. 47. Collected in Southern Utah, by J. W. Powell, in 1874. Mu- 

 seum number, 14719.
