Hearst Museum object titled Burden basket, accession number 1-28558, described as Openwork burden basket. In good condition but fragile; several dark stains. Truncated cone shape; plain twined; about 5 cm from the top, the warps were twisted half way around in pairs; the 4 top rows are closely twined; the warp ends are twined together to create a rim; weft ends were turned upwards to parallel warps a short way. Labels: "Wailaki" crossed out and "Nongatl" Per Ralph Shanks: Openwork plain twined burden basket, used, with stains on the interior. Crossed warp start. Peeled willow shoots are used as warp and weft. There are two cotton-like loops on opposite sides of the basket. There are parallel warps throughout the basket except for 2 inches below the rim, where there is one row of crossed warps. At the starting knot there is plain twining for 2 1/2 inches, followed by two weft rows of three strand twining, followed by plain twining to the rim. The rim has braided warps and which are bound down on the interior. The basket has a rightward work direction and up to the right slant of weft twist.

Several shoots are lashed to inside of rim with buckskin, now reinforced in 2 places with cotton string and a knitted strip of cotton. The stiff leather strap goes around the back of the basket, tied on by thongs. There is also a piece of rope tied to a buckskin loop and a loop tied on rim of gauzy cotton. Three tags: "Nongatl". One tag has Wailaki crossed out. Per Ralph Shanks: Openwork burden basket. Crossed warp start, much repaired. Peeled shoots are used warp, weft, and reinforcing rods, possible hazel and other shoots.

Hearst Museum object titled Burden basket, accession number 1-28560, described as Tightly woven burden basket. White overlay designs, stripes, and band of white geometric figures, "see-saw" designs, and large white vertical zigzags. Twined, truncated cone shape. Rope strap. Hoop lashed to inside of rim with buckskin strip. A short length of rope and 2 strips of cotton attached to rim, one with a bone button on it. Tag "Nongatl". Per Ralph Shanks: Close-twined truncated conical burden basket, probably not used. Crossed warp starting knot, slightly dissimilar to Northwestern California starting knots. The basket has a peeled shoot warp with conifer root wefts and beargrass weft design overlay. There is a peeled shoot reinforcing rod at the interior rim that is attached to the upper weft rows, using a leather cord, with an up to the right slanted leather lashing going through the basket every 1/2 inch or so. Starting at the starting knot there is 2 inches of three strand twining, followed by plain twining up to 1/2 inch from the rim, where there is a single weft row of three strand twining, followed by plain twining to the rim, which is trimmed. Starting at the base there are about 4 inches of vertical lines of beargrass followed by three beargrass horizontal bands, followed by a widely spaced band of triangles topped by a bar and two rectangles, this is followed by vertical zigzags, followed by two horizontal bands, followed by a band of two stacked opposite direction parallelograms forming an arrow. The rim is trimmed. The basket undulates. The workface is on the exterior. The basket has a rightward work direction and an up to the right slant of weft twist. The overlay is two sided, with the primary design on the exterior and a purposeful minor design on the interior.
