Hearst Museum object titled Storage basket, accession number 1-11958, described as Small globosely coiled basket. Tag "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled globular basket bowl, probably made for storage. Some residue in the interior. The basket has a sewn over pinhole start. The coil foundation is three rods of peeled shoots. The background wefts are peeled redbud background on the base but on the sides of the basket it is sedge root with dyed bulrush root designs. The design is four vertical bands of three upward- pointing stacked triangles. There are random rectangles on the base, as well as some incorporated into the bulrush triangles. The rim is plain wrapped with about every two inches of unpeeled redbud alternating with bulrush; the rim coil ending has six up to the right diagonal backstitches with two stitches covering the backstitches that are down to the right. The weft fag ends are primarily clipped, with some concealed. The weft moving ends are primarily concealed. The basket has non-interlocking stitches. The wefts on the exterior are less than 5% split; the wefts on the interior have over 40% split. The basket has an exterior workface, with a rightward work direction, and a down to the right slant of weft twist. Susan Rubin is said to be Yuki on the 1900 US census. The note on this basket by Barrett's informant says that Yuki did not "use roots". It is possible that Susan Rubin may have been Huchnom, who are known to use sedge root and bulrush root. Huchnom used to be called Yuki as well.
