Hearst Museum object titled Cooking basket, accession number 1-164127, described as Plain-twined with band of overlay design near rim. Tag "Nongatl att.". Per Ralph Shanks: Twined cooking basket, used, with food residue and abrasions from cooking stones. The materials are probably willow warps with a conifer root weft and a beargrass overlay. There is a crossed warp starting knot. Beginning at the starting knot there is 1 inch of three strand twining, followed by plain twining for 1 1/2 inches, followed by a single weft row of three strand twining, followed by plain twining up to a 1/2 inch from to the rim, followed by 1 weft row of three strand twining, followed by plain twining to the rim. The rim is trimmed. The main overlay design has one horizontal design band of beargrass, with outlines of triangles. There are three incomplete horizontal lines of beargrass on one side of the basket. The slant of weft twist is up to the right, with a rightward work direction. The basket has an exterior workface. The overlay is predominately on the exterior. The surface undulates. This is a Southern Humboldt Athabascan basket, possibly Nongatl.
Hearst Museum object titled Cooking basket, accession number 1-28447, described as Coiled basket bowl, brown design. Tag: "Yuki", second tag "Yuki 40-B". Per Ralph Shanks: Low broad flairing coiled bowl, in the shape of parching or cooking basket. It has some food residue. The coil foundation is three rods. The weft material is redbud, peeled and unpeeled. The design includes three bands of two sets of diagonally stacked rectangles with three large triangles. There are no random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped; with the rim coil ending blunt. The weft fag ends are concealed; the weft moving ends are bound under. Many of the wefts are split on the interior, less than 20% are split on the exterior. The wefts are non-interlocking. The basket has an exterior workface. It has a leftward work direction and a up to the right slant of weft twist. The features of the basket are slightly different than many Yuki baskets but are close enough to still make this a Yuki basket. The non-typical Yuki features include the leftward work direction and the lack of random rectangles.
