Handle looks relatively new; a bunch of shoots stuck through open holes and crudely wrapped and tied together. Openwork, mixed plain and twill twining. Samuel A. Barrett "field notes, p. 48: wilk seed beater". Tag "Wailaki". Per Ralph Shanks: Openwork twined seed beater, used with residue. The warps and wefts are a peeled shoot on the scoop, the handle is an unpeeled red shoot. The scoop's warps converge and diverge without crossing. The scoop is primarily plain twined. The handle is a dense bundle of shoots that is wrapped with a partially peeled shoots. The larger rods in the handle go to the center of the scoop and are bent back to join the handle. The slant of weft twist is up to the right. The warps are trimmed at the rim and handle.

Hearst Museum object titled Seed beater, accession number 1-12049, described as Very old. Per Ralph Shanks and Christa Ogier. Tag says "Yuki". Seed beater, plain-twined, very heavily used with lots of residue on both handle and bowl. Looks traditional, probably not made for sale. Basket has a cross-warp starting knot. The handle and bowl are made of redbud shoots. Rim is open-wrapped with some warps extending beyond the rim of the bowl. Handle is attached to the bowl by extending some of the warps into the center of the bowl and then bending them back into the handle. Some of the handle warps have been integrated into the bowl. Slant of weft twist is up and to the right with an interior work face, work direction is rightward. The handle is wrapped to a limited degree with redbud and cordage. There are no observed hairs and the attribution is a Yuki seed beater. There is no design apparent. The weaver is of both Yuki and Wailaki descent and therefore the seed beater could be attributed to either of those groups.
