content: Illus. Pl. 8, after p. 82 in Turner, Lucien M., and Ray Hudson. 2008. An Aleutian ethnography. Fairbanks: University of Alaska Press. Identified there as a circular mat. "... [T]he ten-pointed sunburst design was made using plain twining over diverted warp. There are inner and outer circles of crossed warp. The outer row is finished with a braided loop attached with sinew. One challenge the ewver faced was to keep the design elements uniform while increasing the circumference of the mat through regular additions of warp strands."
