the other below the rod. The trinket baskets carried by the women, the
larger waterproof receptacles known as _binota_, and the covers for wild
chicken snares are in this technic. A variant of this weave is found in
the rattan carrying frames and in some fish traps (Fig. 23). Here the
warp strips cross one another at an angle, at each meeting place
enclosing the horizontal foundation strips. Unlike the second weave
described, the warp strips do not pass alternately above and below the
horizontal foundation, but retain the same relation to it throughout the
entire length of each strip. A coiled weave (Fig. 24) is used in the
manufacture of tobacco boxes (Plate XIX) and in the rims of women's
baskets. In this type the foundation consists of a series of horizontal
rattan strips or rods which are sewed together in the following manner.
A narrow strip _A_ passes over two of these parallel rods _2_ and _3_ in
a left handed spiral. At the top of the loop the strip passes under a
similar strip _B_ which binds rod _2_ to the one above. Passing downward
inside the basket, the strip _A_ goes beneath the strip _C_ which binds
rods _3_ and _4_ together. These are drawn tightly while damp, thus
forcing the foundation rods so closely together as to make the basket
practically water-tight. Pitch from the _tabon-tabon_ nuts may also be
rubbed over the outside surface, thus making the receptacle impervious
to water.

In the great majority of baskets the surface is divided into three
parallel zones or decorative bands. These are produced by making a
