PLATE XLIX. 



(Mason. Basket-work.) 



Fig. 81. Jar-shaped coiled basket from Zufii Indians. This is a very beautiful speci- 

 men of coaled ware for this region, in shape, regularity of stitch, and or- 

 namentation in black. Upon the authority of explorers the text is made 

 to say that the pobtery-making Indians are not good basket-makers. This 

 specimen looks as though it might have come from California. Collected 

 in New Mexico by J. W. Powell, in 1874. 



Fig. 82. One square inch of 81, showing the use of the strip of fiber for chinking, 

 and the alternation of white and black stitches.
