Globose coiled basket. Tag: "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled basket bowl. Some food residue is in the bottom interior. The basket has a twined start, with peeled redbud. The coil foundation is made up of peeled shoot rods and splints. The wefts are peeled and unpeeled redbud. The design is three sets of horizontal multiple bands of unpeeled redbud, some with breaks. A portion of two rows have two to three inches of alternating redbud. There are random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped with peeled redbud. The rim coil ending is back-stitched with five diagonal stiches. The weft fag ends are clipped or bound under. The moving ends are concealed. The wefts are non-interlocking, 40% of the wefts are split on the interior and less than 10% are split on the exterior. The workface is on the exterior. The work direction is to the right with a down to the right slant of weft twist. The basket was collected from Huchnom person, Susie Riley, but appears to be made in the Yuki style by Julia Wood (Yuki).
