Twined with openwork, bowl shape. Per Ralph Shanks: Twined basket with three rows of openwork on the side and two bands of close twining, also on the side. Basket is primarily done in plain twining. The base has a single row of lattice twining enclosing a rod. Above the rod is one row of three strand twining. On the interior of the basket there is a raised dome of three strand twining. Warps are hazel and the wefts are conifer root with overlay of beargrass, red-dyed woodwardia fern, and possibly equisetum root for black. Across each of the three rows of openwork there is a single row of undecorated plain twining ascending diagonally across the openwork to continue the weaving process. These are aligned on the same side of the basket. Whilkut attribution is based on the use of double sided overlay bands combined with bands of single sided overlay. Also, on this basket the single side overlay outlines the double sided overlay bands which is typical of Whilkut weaving. The basket is done in up to the right slant of weft twist typical of Northwest California. Whilkut are known to have used equisetum root for black on some baskets.
