Text Appearing Before Image:
288 REPORT OF NATIONAL MUSEUM, 1902. the mosaic elements in anj^ basket one must not fall into the error of thinking that there is not the greatest variet)' of fundamental shapes in the things to be monotonized. The)' vary in outline and relief in position with reference to the horizon; that is^ the rim of the basket, in relative proportion to the whole and its parts. In checkerwork the basketrj'tiles, one might call them, keeping in mind the use of the word mosaic, are squares or rectangles in close or open work. The mosaic of checkerwork pleases by its uniformity, and 3'et many baskets made l)y hand with tools not over refined have in them enough of variety to relieve them from the dull monotony in machine products. Flexibility in materials, as between hard-wood splints and those of cedar bark and palm leaf, offers all the chance the weaver needs to pla)' tricks in reliefs. The eye is never wearied in rambling up and down among these crooked paths. There is possibility of variety even in checkerwork, through changing the widtli of warp and weft ele- ments. 01)long rectangles there mingle with tiny or larger squares in tessellated surfaces. (See Plate 14 and figs. Itt; and i>7.)
