There is an unbelievable amount of mathematics present in the basketry here. Nearly every concept in the geometry curriculum can be tied to the local weaving, as well as equations, sequences, series, and on and on. Note the five-pointed star on the left – how is that possible, when all the others are all six-pointed? Don’t ask Euclid; this is non-Euclidean geometry.
