Overlay: a technique used to decorate twined baskets in which an additional, colored weft is incorporated into the other wefts. The decorative material can be brought to the front or back by doing a full or half twist between warps to create a pattern. Overlay design slants in the same direction as the rest of the twining.

Sorry, this is not the technique used to create the design on your basket. Please look again and make another selection.
