The designs are a rounded uneven four pointed star at the start and five diagonal rectangle chains. Two coils below the rim there is a single coil of black dyed juncus. The basket has an interior workface with bound under weft fag ends and a rightward work direction. The rim is plain wrapped with a herringbone finished. Some of the rim is missing. Hats in Southwest California could be used for personal eating bowls; this one appears to have been used as such. Based on the shape and design layout this could be Gabrielino.
