Description

---

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on the basketry of the Papago and Pima, first published in 1916. It was published under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History as part of a systematic study of the native peoples of south-western United States. 'Basketry Of The Papago And Pima' is highly recommended for those with an interest in anthropology, and it is not to be missed by collectors of allied literature. Contents include: 'Habitat', 'Influence of Environment', 'Wrapped Weaving', 'Plaiting', 'Crude Coiling', 'Coarse Coiling', 'Close Coiling', 'Lace Coiling', 'Evolutions of Technics', 'Differences Between Papaco and Pima Coiled Basketry', 'Tabulated Analysis of Designs', 'Reflection of Personal traits', 'Key to Basketry Technic'', etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with the original text and images.
