Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Bowl basket, museum number 1-64304, described as Small, open twined. Per Ralph Shanks: Twined openwork basket bowl. Crossed warp start. The warps are probably willow. The tan wefts are conifer root; the dark wefts are equisetum, and the red wefts red-dyed woodwardia. The basket has open plain twining at the base turning into close twining, which then turns back to open work on the sides, with crossed warps below the rim. The rim is wrapped with beargrass and another tan material. The warps are tucked interiorly. The basket has up to the right slant of weft twist. There is a raffia like string tied to the rim. There is a hair at the rim. Based on the use of equisetum this is most likely a Wiyot basket.
