Permalink:
ark:/21549/hm21010011936
Alternate number:
1090 (original number)
Accession number:
Acc.291 and Acc.294
Description:
A tightly coiled globose basket, similar to 11934 but smaller. Tag: "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Flaring coiled basket bowl, used, with food residue. The wefts are widely spaced. The start is too grimy to describe. The coil foundation is a mix of splints and rods. The wefts are peeled shoots, with some redbud at the rim. The rim is plain wrapped with a missing coil ending. There are no designs except at the rim. The basket has an exterior workface, a rightward work direction, and the majority of wefts have a down to the right slant of weft twist. The weft fag ends are primarily bound under. The weft moving ends seem to be primarily bound under. The weft stitches are often split on the back face.
