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.

Hearst Museum object titled Seed beater, accession number 1-53986, described as Openwork, twined. Tag "#3" second tag “Maidu". Per Ralph Shanks: Openwork plain twined basket seed beater, used and has residue. Peeled shoots for the warps and whole and split peeled shoots for the wefts. There is a reinforcing rod at the rim that may have once been connected but is broken, and is wrapped on with peeled shoots. There is cloth tied at the handle. The rim is wrapped at bottom of the basket. Primarily there are two warps wrapped in the wefts. There are primarily convergent warps. The weft strands vary between double and single strand. The starting knot started at the handle. The basket has a down to the right slant of weft twist. The basket is probably not Sierra Miwok and is possibly from Eastern Central California in origin, maybe Maidu based on the slant of weft twist and the tag on the basket. The shape is also the shape of a typical Maidu seed beater.
