Hearst Museum object titled Basket, accession number 1-4117, described as Coiled, basin shaped, two horizontal zigzags in dark red on sides. 6-pointed star-like pattern on base. Slight food soiling on interior. "Cut in rim made by Isabel Kelly to del." Foundation bundle of split shoots, sewing strands of split peeled shoots with designs in redbud (Cercis occidentalis). Coiled shallow basket with flaring sides, with residue. The start is twined. The warps are rods and splints. The wefts are peeled redbud as a background and unpeeled redbud designs. At the base the background wefts are sedge (Carex). There are random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped with a blunt coil ending, with four overstiches, with the warps clipped. The weft fag ends are clipped or bound under and the weft moving ends are concealed. On the exterior the wefts are less than 5% split and the interior wefts are less than 50% split. The basket has an exterior workface, a rightward work direction, and a down to the right slant of weft twist. Based on the use of sedge this is probably not Yuki made, it may be Wailaki.
