Large old hemispherical coiled basket. Tag: "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Broad coiled bowl, in the shape of cooking basket. There is food debris and some burns on the interior. The basket has a tight spiral start. The coil foundation includes peeled shoot rod and splints. The weft designs are in unpeeled redbud and the design background is in peeled redbud. The design includes three paired stepped up and down diagonal lines, two of which intersect three times. There are random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped. The primary design continues to the rim. The rim coil ending is missing. The rim has a larger diameter coil than the rest of the basket. The weft fag ends are concealed with some clipped; the weft moving ends are concealed. Less than 50% of the wefts are split on the interior, less than 10% are split on the exterior. The wefts are non-interlocking. The basket has an exterior workface. It has a rightward work direction and a down to the right slant of weft twist.
