Hearst Museum object titled Bowl basket, accession number 1-11934, described as Old hemispherical coiled basket of welt foundation, with very open stiches. Tag "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled low broad basket bowl. Used, with residue. The start is a tight spiral. The coil foundation is peeled shoot splint and rods. The basket wefts are peeled redbud, with two to three wefts of unpeeled redbud. There is one random rectangle. The rim is plain wrapped; the rim ending is blunt/ possibly snapped off. The basket has an exterior workface. The weft fag ends are bound under; the interior moving ends are bound under. There are about 30% split wefts on the interior, with less than 5% split on the exterior. The basket has a rightward work direction, with a variable slant of weft twist, with the majority of weft twists down to the right. The catalog card mentions a Wailaki maker, Sally Brown. The techniques and materials indicate this could be either a Yuki or Wailaki basket.
