Description:
Coiled basket with surface cut into diamonds by intersecting lines. Tags "Paiute" and on the interior "44". Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled globular basket bowl. The basket has a grass bundle foundation. The background material is sumac. The design materials are black dyed juncus. The design is a horizontal band of two stacked diamonds. The basket has an exterior workface and is woven in a rightward work direction. The weft fag ends are predominately clipped with some tucked. The rim is plain wrapped with a tapered coil ending. The mixed use of clipped and tucked fag ends and the materials used makes this likely to be a Cahuilla basket. The design however is common in Luiseño baskets, which rarely have clipped fag ends.
