TYPES OF THE CLUBS. 65 
diagonally by a double element of the same, sometimes sinistral and some- 
times dextral. In another a longitudinal element is crossed by a double 
band-and-zigzag at each end, and this is associated with a crossing in the 
center producing a basketry appearance in the panel. In yet another, longi- 
tudinal element is crossed by transverse double band-and-zigzag and at each 
end by a series of diagonals suggesting palm-leaf; when these opposite diag- 
onals have been brought together the carver has been sedulous to keep them 
distinct, either by a band or by a strongly marked incision. ‘The blade is 
paneled in stock patterns with 4 figures from life on one side; on the other, 
2 figures from life and 2 figures of concentric circles. 
Length, 53 inches, of which blade is 19 inches; cross-ribs at 34 inches.

band-and-zigzag with panel having two longitudinal band-and-zigzag and 1 
zigzag without band forming diamond pattern; transverse straps 11 and 12 
show passage from zigzag to straight lines; cross-rib double, unornamented;

left, herring-bone upper right, separated by distinct diagonal; second com- 
partment longitudinal band-and-zigzag lower left, sinistral diagonal upper

basketry with peculiar triangular interruption of design near tip. Face B:

dextral diagonal upper left. Blade right: compartments 13, 14, 15, 16 divided 
by cross-saltire in which overs and unders alternate; in 13, bottom triangle of 
sinistral band-and-zigzag, left triangle of transverse, upper triangle of dextral, 
right triangle of longitudinal; in 14 and 15, bottom and upper triangles dex-
