Per Ralph Shanks: Twined cooking basket, used, with food residue and abrasions from cooking stones. The materials are probably willow warps with a conifer root weft and a beargrass overlay. There is a crossed warp starting knot. Beginning at the starting knot there is 1 inch of three strand twining, followed by plain twining for 1 1/2 inches, followed by a single weft row of three strand twining, followed by plain twining up to a 1/2 inch from to the rim, followed by 1 weft row of three strand twining, followed by plain twining to the rim. The rim is trimmed. The main overlay design has one horizontal design band of beargrass, with outlines of triangles. There are three incomplete horizontal lines of beargrass on one side of the basket. The slant of weft twist is up to the right, with a rightward work direction. The basket has an exterior workface. The overlay is predominately on the exterior. The surface undulates. This is a Southern Humboldt Athabascan basket, possibly Nongatl.
