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.
