PLATE XII. 

 (Mason. Basket-work.) 



FIG, 20. Showing regularly woven cedar-bark wallet of Bilhoolat. The bottom and 

 sides are all in checker pattern. By an endless variety in real and pro 

 portional width of warp and weft thread, and by coloring some of the 

 threads, an infinite number of patterns is produced. p .:'he fastening off is 

 done as in Fig. 12. In many cedar-bark baskets of this region the two sets 

 of threads run diagonally, producing a diamond rather than a checker pat 

 tern. Again, much more rarely three elements are involved, an open-work 

 of two sets running diagonally, and a horizontal thread running through 

 the open rhombs, in and out, as in multitudes of Japanese baskets. Col 

 lected in British Columbia, by James G. Swan. 



FKJ. 21. One square inch of Fig. 20, natural size.
