Hearst Museum object titled Bowl basket, accession number 1-2538, described as Bowl. Tag: "Lassik", second tag "tcunus". Per Ralph Shanks: Twined "fancy basket" bowl, with no residue. Crossed warp starting knot, not Northwestern California style. Warps are probably hazel (Corylus cornuta californica) and the wefts are conifer root (Pinophyta) with a beargrass (Xerophyllum tenax) and maidenhair fern (Adiantum pedatum) overlay. Starting at the starting knot there is three strand twining for 3/4 inch, followed by plain twining for two weft rows, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by 1/2 inch of plain twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by plain twining for 1/2 inch, followed by one weft row of lattice twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by 1/2 inch of plain twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by 1 inch of plain twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by 1 1/4 inches of plain twining, followed by one weft row of three strand twining, followed by 1 inch of plain twining, followed by three weft rows of lattice twining one of which has a larger rod than others, followed by one weft row of plain twining. The rim is trimmed, with many of the warp sticks extending up to 1/16 of an inch above the rim. The design is a beargrass background with maidenhair hair fern in three design bands, one plain horizontal line, one undulating, and one vertical line band. The lattice twining has some beargrass woven into it and the three strand twining also sometimes has beargrass woven in with it. The basket has an exterior workface. The overlay is primarily on the exterior and irregularly on the interior. The slant of weft twist is up to the right; the work direction is to the right. The basket slightly undulates.
