Hearst Museum object titled Seed beater, accession number 1-2530, described as Tags: 2 tags "Lassik" Per Ralph Shanks and Justin Underhill: Object is a twined seed beater (not seed knocker). Very used, with a lot of food materials adhering. Comprised of a disk and a handle that were likely made separately. Disk has a cross warp starting knot that extends out with plain twining to the rim. The rim of the disk is trimmed with a number of warp sticks extending 1/16 of an inch past the rim. Basket has an up to the right slant of weft twist. Work face is exterior, and work direction is rightward. The handle is twined and consists of a bundle of rods which are doubled over and bent through the disk at various locations starting in the center and extending up to 4 weft rows below the rim. The longest rods are, for the most part, unpeeled and are found in the middle of the handle and some of the the shortest make up the warp of the handle. A few of the shorter rods are incorporated into the center of the handle. The twining around the handle proceeds to the right from 2 weft rows of the disk's rim. Where the handle meets the rim there are 3 stitches around the top 2 weft rows of the rim and the weft row that is entering the handle. The 2 shoots that wrap around the handle are not twined for one full rotation around the handle then they transition to 5 rows of plain twining spaced about 1 1/4 inches. There are 3 closely spaced weft rows of plain twining at the top of the handle. The handle is flared starting approximately 1 inch from the rim, the rim of the handle is trimmed. About 7 rods at the center of the handle extend above the rim for about 1/2 inch. Seed knocker (Beltcí)

Handle looks relatively new; a bunch of shoots stuck through open holes and crudely wrapped and tied together. Openwork, mixed plain and twill twining. Samuel A. Barrett "field notes, p. 48: wilk seed beater". Tag "Wailaki". Per Ralph Shanks: Openwork twined seed beater, used with residue. The warps and wefts are a peeled shoot on the scoop, the handle is an unpeeled red shoot. The scoop's warps converge and diverge without crossing. The scoop is primarily plain twined. The handle is a dense bundle of shoots that is wrapped with a partially peeled shoots. The larger rods in the handle go to the center of the scoop and are bent back to join the handle. The slant of weft twist is up to the right. The warps are trimmed at the rim and handle.

Hearst Museum object titled Seed beater, accession number 1-12049, described as Very old. Per Ralph Shanks and Christa Ogier. Tag says "Yuki". Seed beater, plain-twined, very heavily used with lots of residue on both handle and bowl. Looks traditional, probably not made for sale. Basket has a cross-warp starting knot. The handle and bowl are made of redbud shoots. Rim is open-wrapped with some warps extending beyond the rim of the bowl. Handle is attached to the bowl by extending some of the warps into the center of the bowl and then bending them back into the handle. Some of the handle warps have been integrated into the bowl. Slant of weft twist is up and to the right with an interior work face, work direction is rightward. The handle is wrapped to a limited degree with redbud and cordage. There are no observed hairs and the attribution is a Yuki seed beater. There is no design apparent. The weaver is of both Yuki and Wailaki descent and therefore the seed beater could be attributed to either of those groups.
