thanothers. Thosenoted recently are shown in Figure42, Nos. 1-8 and 
12-14. Nos. 9-11, 13, 15, and 16 are said to have been used formerly, 
as well as several others of which exact descriptions were not obtained.

Fic. 43.—Beaded designs 
Figure 43 represents beaded designs related to the type just 
described. 
The so-called woven design shown in Figure 44, a, is made by two 
women of Spuzzum and by one woman living among the Upper 
Uta’mqt. It is used as a single pattern once only on each face of a 
basket, but the upper and lower 
KX single-stitch border runs entirely 
around all four sides. The pattern 
a here shown was copied from a 
YS small carrying basket belonging to 
Mrs. Guichon, of Port Guichon, 
British Columbia. The basket 
measured 8 inches deep, the mouth 
was 10% by 13 inches, the bottom 
5 by 9 inches at the line of bead- 
ing which marks this part off from 
the side walls.* 
It is said that patterns like this 
are occasionally used, and according 
to one informant, an Uta’mqt wo- 
man, they are loaned and copied. 
Figure 44, b, gives the pattern 
known as “woven design, short 
ends.” The intricacy of the inter- 
woven, continuous bands is quite 
foreign to Thompson basketry art. There is no information avail- 
able regarding the possible derivation of this pattern. 
IMBRICATED DESIGNS 
The statement of the informants that long ago burden baskets were 
round is substantiated by the fact that the old examples have 
rounded corners and are decorated, as we might expect, by designs
