Another type (fig. 37) , M^liicli is rather prevalent, is a closely twined 

 style in which the strands are well twisted. The very nature of the 

 textile demands that some sort of stationary frame had to be utilized 

 in order to arrange the warp and woof elements that were intertwined 

 therein. 



To try to reproduce this textile a rectangle of pegs was set up upon 

 which the elements were stretched (pi. 68 c) . In laying down the warp 

 elements, indicated by the white threads, it was found that the upper 

 right and the lower left corners were so constructed that no weft 

 elements, the dark threads, were necessary. This held true for the 

 opposite corners and the warp elements. The rough diamond-shaped 

 space intervening between the four corners demanded the use of both 

 warp and weft elements.
