FiGORE 26.—Pattern od opposite side of canteen illustrated in figure 25. the top and bottom corners. Extending from the corners on each side are two triangles, the tip of the first is attached to the corner and the apex of the second touches the base of the first. This style of figure is a typical textile form and slight variations of it are common in the patterns on modern rugs and blankets in the Southwest. Whether it was used on textiles during the period when this vessel was made is not known because there are no available woven materials for comparison. It seems likely, though, that such may have been.
