Hearst Museum object titled Dipper, accession number 1-10519, described as Basketry dipper. The warp elements are hazel and the weft is a kind of root. Tag "Nongatl". Per Ralph Shanks: Twined basketry dipper, used, with food/ acorn mush residue. Crossed warp starting knot, dissimilar to Northwestern California starting knots. Probably willow (Salix) or hazel (Corylus cornuta californica) warps and conifer root (Pinophyta) wefts. Starting at the starting knot there is three strand twining for ⅓ inch, followed by 1.5 inches of plain twining, followed by a single weft row of three strand twining followed 1 1/4 inches of plain twining, followed by a single weft row of three strand twining, followed by 1 inch of plain twining, followed by a single weft row of three strand twining, followed by ¾ inch of plain twining, followed by a single weft row of three strand twining, and followed by one weft row of plain twining. The rim is trimmed. The workface is on the exterior. The basket has a rightward work direction and an up to the right slant of weft twist. The basket undulates slightly. The staining on the basket is uneven, perhaps because the basket was held at one end and the other end was dipped into the acorn mush.
