Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Basketry, accession number 2-12595, described as Basketry fragments. Per associated notes by Larry Dawson and comments by Ralph Shanks: There are three notes. The first note says "Basketry fragments from cave on southwestern most edge of Pahute Mesa E of Ancram and Pioneer Nye Co. Nevada (In or very close to Koso territory)". Second note says "The close diagonal twined pieces //// [up to the right slant of weft twist] slant of twists are comparable to Paiute work. The spaced plain twined pieces are like E. Mono burden baskets and piñon scoops." The third note states "The open-stitched interlocking coiled frags. on grass bundle foundation ->[rightward] work direction, are most similar to parching trays of the Tübatulabal, the Koso, and Kawaiisu in every respect except that none of the latter [Kawaiisu] are in interlocking stitch." There are seven fragments altogether. Two are openwork twining, two are diagonal twined, and three are coiled fragments. Per Ralph: the two diagonally twined fragments have no apparent design; the slant of weft twist is up to the right. The weft material appears to be willow, the warp rods are also probably willow. The two openwork twining fragments both have up to the right slant of weft twist. They are plain twined, with no designs. The bark appears to still be on rods, they could be willow. The three coiled fragments have a rightward work direction. All are body fragments. They have a grass bundle foundation, the wefts are probably willow.
