 If further elaboration is desired it is easily accomplished. In the 

 example given the workman has taken up the dark fillet again and 

 carried it a few times around the next turn of the warp coil; then 

 it has been dropped and the Avhite thread taken up, and again, in 

 turn, another dark thread has been introduced and coiled for a few 

 turns, and so on until four encircling rows of dark, alternating 

 rectangles have been produced. Desiring to introduce a meandered 

 design he has taken the upper series of rectangles as bases and adding 

 colored filaments at the proper time has carried oblique lines, one to 

 the right and the other to the left, across the six succeeding I'idges of 

 the warp coil. The pairs of stepped lines meeting above were joined 

 in rectangles like those below, and the decoration was closed by a 

 liorder line at the top. The vessel was then completed in the light 

 colored material. In this ornament all forms are bounded by two 

 classes of lines, vertical and horizontal (or, viewed from above or be- 

 low, radial and encircling), the lines of the war]i and the woof. Ob- 

 ' ' bands of color are made up of series of rectangles, gi \ing stepped
