Hearst Museum object titled Bowl basket, accession number 1-12199, described as Twined rush basket. Dirty from use, but not very worn, most of basket overlaid with white elements, two-faced. Top portion of design is a row of triangles; middle, two 3-strand twined rows with plain twined and overlaid dotted lines in between (3 - 4 cm from top); lower part of design is inverted triangles, not a reflection of the top triangles. More 3-strand twining, 2.5 cm radius from start, and 3 rows beginning 8 cm from the start. Tag: "Wailaki". Per Ralph Shanks: Twined basket mush/serving bowl, used. Probably crossed warp start, not a traditional wrapped Northwest California style starting knot. The warp material is a peeled shoot; the wefts are conifer root with an overlay design in beargrass. Starting at the starting knot there is three strand twining for about 1 1/4 inches, followed by 2 inches of plain twining, followed by one row of three strand twining, followed by four rows of plain twining, followed by one row of three strand twining, after which there is one inch of plain twining. The rim is trimmed with some warp sticks protruding. The basket somewhat undulates. The work direction is to the right, with an exterior workface and up to the right slant of weft twist. There are two horizontal bands of beargrass overlay design with offset triangular forms. The overlay is double sided, with the main design on the exterior. The basket is described as "from people way up in Humboldt" which is outside of Wailaki territory. Several characteristics of this basket are similar to those of the Nongatl including: the starting knot, the semi-double sided overlay, the undulation of the basket, the warp sticks protruding above the rim, and the Northwest California type design. Also the basket is noted as being a "rush basket", but no rush material was noted during the examination of the basket.

Hearst Museum object titled Bowl basket, accession number 1-11952, described as Very old hemispherical parching basket. "Lost no.". Second tag "Yuki". Third tag "Yuki" on one side and "# lost". Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled basket bowl. There are no abrasions but there is residue. The basket has a tight spiral coiled start. The coil foundation is three rod peeled shoots. The wefts are probably sedge root background with unpeeled redbud designs. The design includes diagonal crossed stacked-rectangle lines. There are no random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped; the rim coil ending is missing. The weft fag ends are over 90% concealed, with some clipped. The weft moving ends are primarily concealed. The exterior of the basket has a few split stiches; the interior has a majority of split stiches. The basket has an exterior workface, with a rightward work direction, and a mixed slant of weft twist. The maker was said by Samuel Barrett's informants to be the mother of a Redwood, which is Huchnom. The use of sedge root is common to the Huchnom, and Huchnom work direction is typically but not always to the left see pg. 117-118 "Indian Baskets of Central California". Based on this and Barrett's informants comment this basket is likely to be Huchnom.
