PLATE XXVI. 



(Mason. Basket-work.) 



Fig. 49. Water-tight basket bottle of the Apaches. The coiling consists of the rigid 

 osier and soft fiber combination, before mentioned, the latter acting as 

 chinking or calking of the openings. This ware differs essentially from 

 that of the Utes in the glossy even stitches, the care taken in passing them 

 uniformly under the elements of the preceding coil, and the more elabo- 

 rate shapes and ornamentation. The lines dropped from the bottom of the 

 chevron at the bottom meet in a black spot at the center. The upper 

 chevron and the rings of the neck are in black, red, and yellow splints, 

 alternately. Collected in Arizona, by Dr. J. B. White, U. S. A., in 1875. 

 Museum number, 21494.
