Style
is folded over simply in box form and sewed together (fig. 147).
The method used by the Otoe and sometimes by the Ioway, is still
different. There is a short flap covering part of the front; the sides
are folded in, somewhat in the same manner as done by the Fox

and there is also a complete lack of coherence between the design as
laid out on the hide and as it appears in the completed box (fig. 148).
Still another example of fixity of type is presented in the woven
bags of the Ojibwa and Potawatomi (figs. 149, 150). The two oppo-
site sides have always distinct patterns. The purely geometrical
patterns are always laid out symmetrically. There is a broad central
figure bordered by a number of narrow stripes. These are followed,
above and below by a wide stripe of a pattern different from the
central one. Sometimes the colors above and below are inverted.
