Hearst Museum object titled Mortar basket, accession number 1-11968, described as Old mortar hopper basket. Tag "Yuki". Tag stapled to basket "1132" Per Ralph Shanks: Mortar hopper basket, used, with wear. The start is missing. The warps are a peeled shoot, probably dogwood. The weft appears to conifer root, although the exterior of the basket is unusually dark, probably dyed. The first three to four rows are coiled, with peeled and unpeeled redbud wefts; there is leather at the first row lashed on. The coil rows are possibly a repair or add on. The coils are followed by three rows of three strand twining, followed by a half inch of plain twining, followed by an exterior reinforcing rod lashed on with leather, followed by two rows of three strand twining, followed by two inches of plain twining, followed by two weft rows of three strand twining separated by two weft rows of plain twining. Plain twining continues to the rim, the last weft row is three strand twining. The warps are clipped at the rim. The rim reinforcing rod is attached to the interior through wrapping of probably grapevine, alternating dark and light every four to seven inches. The basket has an exterior workface, with a rightward work direction and an up to the right slant of weft twist.
