Hearst Museum object titled Storage basket, accession number 1-10524, described as Openwork elkhorn spoon storage basket. Tag: "Whilkut spoon basket". Second tag "Nongatl". "Raised rings on bottom = tuggulduc Border = kittellai. Crossing warps in border = minna, "its eyes"." Per Ralph Shanks: Open-work twined basket bowl, used for storing elk horn spoons. Crossed warp starting knot. Peeled shoot warps and conifer root wefts. The rim is made out of peeled shoots and trade cloth. The basket has a cloth strap. Starting at the starting knot there is 2⅓ inches of diagonal twining, followed by two weft rows of lattice twining, followed by plain twining to the rim. The warps are parallel up to ½ inch from the rim, where they cross twice. The rim is wrapped with cloth and peeled shoots, around what appears to be two weft rows of plain twining and additional foundation material. The workface is on the exterior. The basket has a rightward work direction and an up to the right slant of weft twist. Based on where it was collected it is more likely Nongatl.
