The weft overlay is beargrass. At the starting knot there is .75 inch of three strand twining followed by 2 inches of plain twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining. Plain twining continues until 2 inches below the rim, where two weft rows of lattice twining are separated by one row of plain twining. Plain twining continues until the rim, which is trimmed. The main design is located above and below the lattice twining. The design is a repeating pattern consisting of a pentagon with a triangle on the point. The overlay is primarily on the exterior, although a separate pattern is evident on the back face. There is an original repair on the base. The basket has an exterior workface. The basket has an up to the right slant of weft twist, and a rightward work direction. The basket is from Northwestern California, the shape of this basket is common among the Yurok.
