PLATE XXXVIII. 



(Mason. Basket-work.) 



FIG. 66. Twined jar-shaped basket of the Mokis. Excepting in the rigid material 

 and the pottery form, we have here all the details of the west coast bas 

 ketry. At the center of the bottom each twining includes two warp twigs ; 

 the next round the same plan is followed, but the stitches alternate. This 

 for 10 rows ; on the fifth is an exterior twining for ornament. Then suc 

 ceed 6 rows of twining on each twig, then 4 rows of twining over two 

 twigs, then 9 rows of single twining overlaid by two double rows of ex 

 ternal twining. The rest of the surface is covered with twining over every 

 warp twig, onoverlaid the upper portion and at the bulge by external 

 twining. The fastening off is mere whipping. Collected in Moki pueblos 

 in Arizona, by J. W. Powell, in 1884. 



FIG. 67. One inch of 66, showing the twining on single and on double rods.
