PLATE L. 



(Mason. Basket-work.) 



Fig. 83. Coiled basket-tray from Zufii. The texture is exceedingly open, owing to 

 the use of the single rod in the coil with coarse chinking. Collected in 

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



Fig. 84. One square inch of Fig. 83, showing the warp rods and the method of sewing.
