Basketry covered bottle. Round, clear glass covered with plain twined basketry with half - twist overlay. Diagonal design combining rhomboids and triangles in black on wheat colored field. Light brown bands. (a) Bottle. (b) Lid. Both tags "Klamath River". Per Ralph Shanks: Twined basketry covered glass bottle with basketry cap. The main basket has a crossed warped knot. The warp material is probably hazel. The weft material is conifer root. The weft design overlay is maidenhair fern with a beargrass background. Starting after the starting knot, there is .5 inch of three strand twining followed by .5 inch of plain twining followed by one weft row of three strand twining. Plain twining continues after that all of the way up to the rim. The design is diagonal stacked triangles surrounding diagonally stacked parallelograms. The rim is trimmed. The lid has a crossed warp starting knot, covered with beargrass. The rest of the materials for both baskets are the same. From the lid's starting knot there is 3/8ths of an inch of three strand twining, followed by 1/4 inch of plain twining, followed by two weft rows of three strand twinning, after that there is plain twining to the rim. Both of the baskets have a rightward work direction, with an up to the right slant of weft twist. The cap has a single-sided overlay with the design on the exterior. The workface for both baskets is on the exterior. The basket is from Northwestern California.
