The second, called the "Ucayali loom," consists of a small, oval frame. The warp runs between one end of the frame and the transverse stick affixed inside the other end. Fabrics produced on the belt loom have an ordinary in-and-out weave and are made with the help of a weaving sword. The weave on the "Ucayali loom" is, as in Guiana, accomplished by first crossing over the warp ele- ments and holding them in place with small sticks, then drawing through weft strands to replace each stick.

These ceramics are best developed among the Combo (pi. 52, a), Shipiho, and Seteho. The Amahuaca and Nocoman paint none of their ware, ornamenting merely with punched elements. The Cashibo make only unornamented red bowls and incised cook pots. The Chamicura and Urarina make fingernail-decorated cook pots, red and white water jugs,. Figure 79.—Panobo bowl, white and red.

The Chama vessels are made of various clays mixed with the ashes of Licania bark (Rosaceae) ; construction is by coiling. Red and black designs are painted with hair brushes over a white slip; small incised
