Hearst Museum object titled Seed beater, accession number 1-2530, described as Tags: 2 tags "Lassik" Per Ralph Shanks and Justin Underhill: Object is a twined seed beater (not seed knocker). Very used, with a lot of food materials adhering. Comprised of a disk and a handle that were likely made separately. Disk has a cross warp starting knot that extends out with plain twining to the rim. The rim of the disk is trimmed with a number of warp sticks extending 1/16 of an inch past the rim. Basket has an up to the right slant of weft twist. Work face is exterior, and work direction is rightward. The handle is twined and consists of a bundle of rods which are doubled over and bent through the disk at various locations starting in the center and extending up to 4 weft rows below the rim. The longest rods are, for the most part, unpeeled and are found in the middle of the handle and some of the the shortest make up the warp of the handle. A few of the shorter rods are incorporated into the center of the handle. The twining around the handle proceeds to the right from 2 weft rows of the disk's rim. Where the handle meets the rim there are 3 stitches around the top 2 weft rows of the rim and the weft row that is entering the handle. The 2 shoots that wrap around the handle are not twined for one full rotation around the handle then they transition to 5 rows of plain twining spaced about 1 1/4 inches. There are 3 closely spaced weft rows of plain twining at the top of the handle. The handle is flared starting approximately 1 inch from the rim, the rim of the handle is trimmed. About 7 rods at the center of the handle extend above the rim for about 1/2 inch. Seed knocker (Beltcí)
