Boas] APPLICATION OF DESIGN TO FIELD 277 
Figure 64 illustrates a beautiful corner of an extremely well made 
basket. The filler in this case was not needed to help to cover a 
side, but rather serves as a decoration for the corner itself and its 
character is in perfect keeping with that of the main design. The 
basket sketched in Figure 65 affords an instructive contrast, show- 
ing in a the almost perfect spacing of the | 
zigzags at the bottom if we consider, as we a eo 
must, that one farthest to the right which 
is carried around the corner. But the ever- 
present leftward lean and the ‘‘wrenched”’ 
corners or oblique edges occasion again the SNS Wuymunugegny gO J

along the rim almost no fault could be ric. 64—¥iller on corner of 
found with the decoration. Nearly as good ja 
a distribution occurs at the bottom. All of this woman’s difficulties 
would have been met if in building the walls she had bent her coil 
at the correct places for the corners, a little more to the right at 
each round, instead of attempting, as do most of them, to make the 
corner appear vertical from a full view of any face, or in other 
words, to bring the right corner 
around on to the face. 
Figure 65, 6, shows the treatment 
of another corner, with the selection 
of two utterly incongruous elements 
as fillers, which, however, are sym- 
metrically placed. They are merely 
single rows of imbricated stitches. 
Figure 66 illustrates another bas- 
ket with a corner filler which ought 
not to have been difficult, simple as 
it is, to place exactly on the corner, 
but the same trouble prevails here as 
elsewhere, and the corner was turned 
too soon. 
The basket sketched in Figure 67 
Fic. 65.—Filler on corner of basket. is ornamented with vertical series of 
Se imbricated blocks, all of which extend 
over three coils except those in the topmost row. These cover only 
two. By change of color the imbrication forms a vertical subdivision 
in each block, where every colored imbricated stitch covers two coil 
stitches, or more rarely three. The blocks are arranged regularly, a 
circumstance which is not attained by counting the stitches between
