Coiled, wide mouth, sloping sides. Tag: "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Low-sided coiled basket bowl. No evidence of use wear. The basket has a twined start. The warps are peeled shoot rods and splints. The weft material is peeled redbud with unpeeled redbud designs. The design at the base of the basket has two bands with breaks in the same area. This is followed by four equally spaced filler design elements. On the sides of the basket are two sets of three alternating bands of unpeeled and peeled redbud, with breaks that line up with each other. There are random rectangles. The weft fag ends and weft moving ends are concealed. The rim is plain wrapped. The rim coil ending is blunt with no back stitches and is possibly cut off at the end. The wefts are split less than 10% on the exterior and on the interior 30-35% are split. The basket has an exterior workface, a rightward work direction, and down to the right slant of weft twist.
