Hearst Museum object titled Bowl basket, accession number 1-70139, described as Coiled, plate shape. Tag "Mission Type". Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled low broad bowl basket with sloping sides. It is in the traditional shape of a winnower but does not appear used. Deergrass bundle foundation. The basket has a start of sumac wefts, two inches in diameter. The rest of the basket has tan, orange, and black-dyed juncus as well as some sumac in the center of the design. The design is a zigzag outlined in black with a triangle at the top of each vertical. The workface is on the interior, with a rightward work direction. The basket has primarly clipped as well as some bound under weft fag ends. The rim is plain wrapped with a double coil ending, each with tapered herringbone stitching. The additional coil ending is probably formed by adding a coil after the the first coil ending, where the tag is currently located . This was done probably to continue to maintain two plain coils above the main design. The basket is probably Cahuilla, based on the use of the clipped fag ends and the design layout. There is a hair woven into the basket.
