APPLICATION OF DESIGN TO FIELD 
269 
Figure 56 is taken from a basket whose maker was far too ingeni- 
ous to wrestle with corner problems. 
That she could have done so 
better, perhaps, than most of her fellow workers is demonstrated 
by her remarkably well placed de- 
signs and even work. Undoubtedly 
she preferred a vertical alignment 
for the loose ends of the superposed 
zigzags rather than the compromises 
which might have been necessary 
at the corners. Doctor Haeberlin 
remarks concerning it as follows: 
This basket and its ornamentation are 
most beautifully made. The regularity 
shown by the exact measurements proves 
that in a basket of this kind the surface 
as such is ornamented and that great 
pains have been devoted to the task of 
dividing the surface correctly.

As seen in the drawings, the triangles of D fit into those of band Z. Due to the 
curvature of the basket the spaces between the bases of the triangles (marked 
A) can not be so regular as those of band FE. The number of stitches at the A’s 
in band D are as follows (beginning at the break): 
3, 5, 5, 4, 8 (corner), 5, 5, 8 
(corner), 4, 3, 3, 5, 6 (corner), 3, 3, 4 (break, at corner).
