Original Catalog Number: 2783 Element: Fragment Shape/Form: Irregular Alteration: Chemical Manufacturing Notes: At least 2 layers of Cu for all frags. Residue: Basket, wrapped fiber, and twined cloth impression. Largest frag has the wrapped fiber impression. Feather fibers are caught in and preserved by the layer of corroded byproducts on the surface of the copper. 2 smaller pcs have twill basketry impressions. Large frag w/ attached reed has Spaced Weft Twining on 1 side. Comments: The spaced weft twining is well preserved. It is of the very fine net-like variety (there is another pc somewhere much like this one). The pc w/ the fine twining mesh has a long cane strip attached to the side reverse to the netting. Made of very fine yarns, can't see the twist direction.
