Small, light and dark brown design. Per Ralph Shanks: Basket bowl, coiled. The foundation is single rod willow. The wefts are bracken fern root and unpeeled and peeled willow. The designs are three bands of color, orange, black, and orange. The basket has an oval foundation. The basket has an exterior workface and is woven in a leftward work direction with widely spaced stitches. The weft fag ends are bound under. The rim is plain wrapped with a four stitch coil ending. The leftward work direction, and design make this basket likely to be a Paiute or Washoe basket.
