Hearst Museum object titled Cooking basket, accession number 1-61745, described as Coiled, flat bottom bowl-shape, decorated with 2 groups of diagonal parallel lines pendant to rim. Per Ralph Shanks: Large broad coiled bowl. The basket was used as a cooking pot. Deergrass bundle foundation. The background wefts are sedge root; the designs are bull-rush root. The basket has little design except for two opposing sets of six diagonal parallel stepped lines starting one coil below the rim. The basket has an exterior workface, with a rightward warp direction. The basket has Salinan pinched/ nub weft fag ends. On the interior/ backface of the basket the moving ends are concealed under the weft stitches. The moving ends location is visible due to a slight rise in the covering weft stitch. Many weft stitches are split on the interior of the basket. The rim is plain wrapped. Part of the rim coil is missing, including the end.
