There are no abrasions or residue. The basket has a tight spiral coiled start with indentation and a small hole in the center, but not pinhole start however. The start's wefts have three rows of unpeeled redbud. The coil foundation is three rod peeled shoots. The wefts are peeled redbud background with unpeeled redbud designs. The design is diagonal lines with flags off the top and bottom of the lines, quail designs per informant. There are no random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped; the rim coil ending is missing. The weft fag ends are primarily clipped. The weft moving ends are primarily concealed. The exterior of the basket has about 15% split stiches; the interior has over 90% split stiches.

Based on the lack of random rectangles and Lizzie Chicken's background of being half-Yuki half-Wailaki this basket was woven in the style of Wailaki baskets.
