Pipe HolderD1.312

Pipe holder consisting of a square basketry mat with rounded edges, three rawhide loops attached to top for hanging. There are also two parallel strips of rawhide attached across the surface with open loops to insert objects. The mat portion is very finely woven (approximately eight rows/inch) with squared-off watch-spring base construction and an overcast edge. Decorated with partial imbrication; three nearly diagonal rows of cat-tail grass, black-dyed and red cherry bark. The designs are six-sided figures. The rows are not quite diagonal because of the angular turns in the weave. Diagonal corners have what look like flower figures in each corner.
