1st. Pagan Ware.-This is mainly if not entirely done on 
basket-ware or horse-hair boxes. The lid of a Iaiw wicker-work 
box is shown on Plate 2 (fig. 3) and a betel-nut box (fig. 4). 
These have been ornamented as follows :— An article prepared as 
above described is put on the turning-lathe and the gloss of the 
varnish removed, thus leaving a perfectly smooth surface. It is 
then handed over to the designers and engravers, often young 
mrls such as the one shown in the centre of the group (Plate 1). 
By means of a line metallic scriber a certain portion of the 
pattern is engraved all over, the spacing and assortment being 
done unerringly by the eye and without any previous delimitation
