PLATE XVIII. 



(Mason. Basket-work.) 



Fig. 34. Twined or plaited flexible basket of the Klamath Indians, made of rushes and 

 straw. The management of the material is precisely as in the Eskimo 

 wallets (Fig. 3). The three elevated bands upon the outside are formed by 

 rows of twine set on externally. The border in this case is formed by 

 binding down the warp straws and sewing them fast with trader's twine. 

 By twining a dark and alight colored straw, two dark or two light straws, 

 and by varying the number of these monochrome or dichrome twines, very 

 pleasing effects in endless variety are produced. Collected at Klamath 

 Agency, in 1876, by L. S. Dyar. Museum number, 24124. 



Fig. 35. One square inch of 34, showing the appearance of the body weaving above 

 and of the ornamental twining below.
