NO. 7 SOUTHWESTERN BASKETRY— WEI.TFISII 2)7 



Besides these coiled baskets called " ancient Zuiii," Mason also 

 figures (pi. 213) seven twined baskets and one wicker basket, col- 

 lected by James Stevenson. The twined baskets are bottle-shaped, 

 while the wicker basket is globular. The types of twined stitches 

 used include plain twining, twilled twining (fig. 14), and three- 

 strand twining (fig. 15).' The twining is made toward the right 

 of the worker (clockwise spiral, convex work surface) stitches 

 trending upward toward the right in the direction in which the work 

 proceeds. The technique of the wicker basket is similar to modern 

 Hopi work, Third Mesa (fig. 16).

 coiling on a two-rod-and-bundle-triangular foundation (fig. 2) ; all 

 are made on the convex work surface throughout (fig. ih) . 



^ Mason, pp. 500-501, describes the specimens and gives museum numbers. 



" Mrs. Hubby calls these Paiute ceremonial baskets. " These baskets were 

 used by and are found among the Pueblo Indians. They were used to buy a 

 fetich." These two baskets are in no technical or decorative aspects similar 

 to Paiute work. 



^ The designs on these three baskets resemble in .style those on the "Ancient 

 Pueblo " baskets from Sia. 



* From the note " collected among the xA.paches by Mooney " ; but not like 

 Apache work. Consistent with the " ancient pueblo" baskets of this type.
