Hearst Museum object titled Bowl basket, accession number 1-70135, described as Coiled, shallow, plate shape. Bug or tarantula design. Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled basket bowl. Foundation is three rod shoot foundation, probably willow. Work direction is to the right. The workface is on the interior. The basket start and base weft is probably willow. The rest of the basket weft is in natural and black dyed juncus. The weft fag ends are clipped and/or hidden. Designs are four insects with four legs each. There is a black band at the rim. Probably made by a Chemehuevi weaver that migrated west after the Mohave war. This attribution is based on the use of willow three rod foundation, weft fag ends treatment, use of willow as weft in part of basket, the black rim design, as well as the close weft stitching.
