openwork hexagonal-pattern foundation with each interspace restricted by a single interpolated strand. In this case an interpolated weft strand (~c) also limits the interspaces in the sides. AU made of itiriti.
407. Rectangular hanging trays would seem to be of about the most primitive type of plaitwork met with, and, like the preceding, it is a question whether they should not be regarded as baskets. Thé foundation is made of a right-angled plait of the one-over-andunder (checker) type (sec. 106), having each strand at about its own width apart from its parallel neighbor. Upon completion of this base, which is more or less square, the projecting ends of the strands along each of the four sides are collected into three portions
and worked into a triple plait (fig. 108), these four plaits being ultimately bent up and knotted together on top, very much in the same style as a laundry woman would tie the corners of a square sheet over a bundle of washing. Made of itiriti. For use, it is suspended from a beam by a thread tied to the upper knotted portion.
408. Circular t r a y s.- AU closework circular trays are more or less concave, and are invariably made from a square ~oundation plaited on the flat. T7_ ..1!llu_ -L_LL_=-

Fis. 108.-Diagram of rectangular hanging tra.y.
The following describes their construction as observed among the Warrau (pl. 98 A) Starting with two pairs of (itiriti) strands placed at right angles, a square foundation of from 18 to 22 inches in width, exclusive of the free ends of the strands projecting to a distance of another 8 or 10 inches, is finally completed, a common pattern depicted being a series of concentric squares (fig. 109 A) having their diagonals at right angles to the sides of the mat. The plait consists of one strand being passed alternately over and under three (twilled). The two commencing strands, where they reach the sides, may be finally tucked back and upon themselves, for strengthening purposes only. Certain of the strands, to intensify the pattern, may be stained black, even when the article is intended for domestic use, i. e., not for sale or barter. Two thin wooden hoops (~, &) are next prepared,
