The following specimens are examples of the tray-like baskets made from round willows:

1857. (42085). Fig. 535 shows the mode of its construction.

The following are canteen or water baskets, previously described, as to method of making and using them:

1908-1912. 1908, (42101); 1909, (42102); 1910, (42103); 1911, (42104); 1912, (42105); are vase-shaped baskets, of which Fig. 537 is a representative example.

The following are specimens of the same ware, differing only in form and size:

1913-1920. 1913, (42106); 1914, (42107); 1915, (42108); 1916, (42109); 1917, (42110); 1918, (42111); 1919, (42112); 1920, (42113).

1921-1925. 1921, (42114); 1922, (42115); 1923, (42116); 1924, (42117); 1925, (42118), are only noticeable on account of their peculiar form.

They are almost top-shaped, with an acute apex at the bottom. The mouth is small, like that of a jug. In one instance (42114) the body slopes from top and bottom to the center, almost forming a ridge. Very few of this form were obtained.

1926. (42119). A double-lobed canteen basket. Many of the clay water-vessels in the collection are made in imitation of this double-lobed basket.

1927-1931. 1927, (42120); 1928, (42121); 1929, (42122); 1930, (42123); 1931, (42124). Ordinary forms of the water-basket.

1932. (42125). A fine, large, and quite perfect specimen, of the jug or water-basket, with ears of horse-hair and string attached for use.

Quite a number of the ancient water-jars are of this form, and both bear evidence of antiquity.

1933. (42149). Fig. 538 is a good ill.u.s.tration of this form.

1934-1937. 1934, (42146); 1935, (42147); 1936, (42148); 1937, (42150), are of the same cla.s.s of cemented basket-ware. The small fruit-baskets, made of round willows and with much less care, are also of many forms. Some are square, others round, and some with a peculiar flattened body; of the latter there are but few in the collection.

They belong to the older cla.s.s of basketry.

The following specimens belong to that cla.s.s:

1938-1941. 1938, (42126); 1939, (42127); 1940, (42128); 1941, (42129).

1942. (42130). A specimen of a much finer quality than the preceding. It is long and vase-shaped, with a wide mouth and flaring rim, and woven up from the bottom in oblique ridges.

1943. (42131). A coa.r.s.ely constructed bowl-shaped basket, of which type the following are also specimens:

1944-1951. 1944, (42132); 1945, (42133); 1946, (42134); 1947, (42135); 1948, (42136); 1949, (42137); 1950, (42138); 1951, (42139).

1952. (42140). Specimen of the older basketry, with large depressed body, flat bottom, and jar-like mouth.

1953-1956. 1953, (42141); 1954, (42142); 1955, (42143); 1956, (42144), are also different forms of the peach-basket.

1957. (42145). Fig. 540. A large floor or hearth mat frequently found in use among the Pueblos. The specimen in the collection exhibits some skill and taste in weaving it. The material of which it is made is a small round willow.

1958. (42151). A large deep basket, constructed by weaving coa.r.s.e willow twigs around four upright posts or large sticks. It has a capacity of about two bushels.

1959. (42152). This is a small square basket of the same character.

1960. (42153). A specimen of this ware. It is shown in Fig. 539, exhibits a coa.r.s.e, loose manner of construction. These are used as fruit-baskets.

1961-1962. 1961, (42154), and 1962, (42155). These are examples of the same kind.

1963. (42156). This specimen represents the finest quality of baskets in the collection. They are all more or less tastefully ornamented during the process of plaiting them. They are skillfully and closely woven, and are used for holding the finest of their flour and meal. These are undoubtedly of Apache manufacture. Fig. 541.

1964. (42157). Has been selected as an ill.u.s.tration of this cla.s.s of baskets, of which the following are examples, differing but little in form:

[Ill.u.s.tration: Fig. 537 (42105) () Fig. 538 (42149) () Figs. 537, 538.--Wolpi Baskets.]

[Ill.u.s.tration: Fig. 539 (42153) (?) Fig. 540 (42145) (?) Figs. 539, 540.--Wolpi Fruit Basket and Floor Mat.]

[Ill.u.s.tration: Fig. 541 (42157) (?) Fig. 542 (42160) (?) Figs. 541, 542.--Wolpi Baskets.]

[Ill.u.s.tration: Fig. 543 (42183) (?) Fig. 544 (42199) () Fig. 545 (42171) (?) Figs. 543-545.--Wolpi Baskets.]

1965-1971. 1965, (42158); 1966, (42159); 1967, (42160), Fig. 542; 1968, (42162); 1969, (42163); 1970, (42164); 1971, (42165). The two last are almost flat; the rest saucer or bowl shaped and quite deep.

1972. (42166). Basket of coa.r.s.e willow ware; platter-shaped.

1973. (42167). Conical-shaped basket of closely woven variety.
