By changes in the order of intersection, without changing the type

 over and under alternate strands, as in the preceding set of exam- 

 ples, but by extending over and undei' a number of the opposing series 

 at each step and in such order as to give wide horizontal ridges

 is shown in Fig. 298. A good illustration is also seen in Fig 280. 

 and another piece, said to be of Seminole workmanship, is given in 

 Fig. oOO. These and similar relieved results are fruitful sources of 

 primitive decorative motives. They are employed not niily within
