The thumb, which is 3" long, is a separate piece, sewed like the body of the mitten with the seam turned in and running from a pucker at the end down the lower side of the back. It is added by sewing into the seam of the mitten. The other (11588-2, fig. 20, 5) is of buffalo hide with the hair re- maining on the ex- terior. It is clear- ly for the left hand. It is 10" long. The main part is one piece, with its lower edge cut plain. The seam runs down the palm from the finger tips to the left edge (as seen facing the palm) at the level of the thumb and then t u r n s i n w a v d somewhat toward the center. This sewing is w i t h stitch 1, 31/2 per inch. W h e r e a s the thumb of 11588-1 is in the same plane as the mitten, the thumb of 11588-2 is per- pendicular to it. That is, from the seam a slit 1%" long was cut across the palm to which the base of the thumb was sewed. The seam of the thumb runs up its left side and across its top. Woven il^whide.—11595 (fig, 24) from Cave No, 1 is made of raw- hide thongs %'' to 1/2" wide. The strands across the top are twisted and wrapped. Pairs of strands twisted clockwise descend from these at intervals of V to I1/2". The weft is made up of single strands twisted into the warp strands.
