PLATE XXXII. 



(Mason. Basket-work.) 



Fig. 58. Coiled basket bowl of the Pimas, made up on a foundation of yucca, the sew- 

 ing done with splints of willow or pine. The rude character of the orna- 

 ment is worthy of notice. Depth, 4 inches. Collected by Dr. Edward 

 Palmer, in Arizoija. Museum number, 5548. 



Fig. 59. Coiled basket bowl of the Pimas, similar in structure to 58. The grecque 

 ornament is wrought in with tolerable symmetry. The border has the 

 braided appearance before mentioned, given by forward and backward 

 sewing along the border with a single splint. In this instance the stitch 

 passes backward three stitches of the sewing each time. This is truly 

 the most ingenious and effective work of the kind yet seen. Collected by 

 Mrs. Georgia Stout, Pima Agency, Arizona. Museum number, 27837.
