A 1902 second-edition monograph by Carl Purdy on the coiled and twined baskets of the Pomo Indians of Lake and Mendocino counties, California. It covers Pomo history, daily life, dances, money and sweat-houses, then the materials (willow, sedge root, redbud, bulrush root), tools, weave types (bam-tush, ti, tsai, shi-bu/chu-set), feathered baskets (ta-pi-ca and e-pi-ca), and the names and meanings of design motifs. It is illustrated with many numbered photographic plates of baskets, houses, and people; it contains no weaving drafts.
