Description:
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.
