Hearst Museum object titled Seed beater, accession number 1-11994, described as Very old Per Ralph Shanks and Christa Ogier. Tag says "Yuki". Seed beater basket, plain-twined, 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 peeled and unpeeled 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. Bowl is shallower and broader than other Yuki seed beaters in the collection. Slant of weft twist is up and to the right with an exterior work face, work direction is uncertain. The handle is wrapped to a limited degree with redbud. There are no observed hairs and the attribution is a Yuki seed beater. There is no design apparent.
