Beads and beadwork of the American Indians : a study based on specimens in the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation
A 1929 study by William C. Orchard, published in New York by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, documenting beads and beadwork of American Indian peoples from the museum's own specimens. The pictures are line diagrams of bead-weaving stitches: looped warp threads, beads strung on crossing threads, and a skip-weave pattern in neckbands, drawn in plain black ink on cream paper, useful to a designer studying how woven structures build a repeating grid.
