In America it is quite common in British Columbia, Washington, Southern United States, Mexico, and Cen- tral America, and of excellent workman- ship in Peru, Guiana, and Ecuador. The fundamental techuic of diagonal basketry is in passing each element of the weft over two or more warp elements, thus producing either diagonal or twilled, or, in the best samples, an endless variety of diaper patterns. (See figs. 5 and 0.) The example shown in Plate 15 represents a cigar case made b}' the women of Bolivia, who weave the celebrated Panama hats, the texture being fine twilled work. The ornamentation should be studied care- fully, for it consists of twined weaving, in which ]>oth warp and weft strands are brought together in pairs and one twined about the Fig. -4. open Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
