The basket has food debris. The warps are rods and splints. The basket has peeled redbud background wefts and unpeeled redbud design wefts. The design is horizontal bands of unpeeled redbud. The rim is missing. The basket has an exterior workface. There are many split stitches on the backface. The weft fag ends are bound under, with the moving ends concealed. The basket has a rightward work direction and a down to the right slant of weft twist. The work direction, materials and techniques used in the basket are consistent with Yuki manufacture. The twined patch at the base of the basket is said to have been taken from an old Wailaki basket, per Samuel Barrett's informants. The patch is plain twined with an up to the right slant of weft twist. The wefts may be conifer root. The warps are peeled shoot.

Hearst Museum object titled Basket, accession number 1-11990, described as Hemispherical twined basket, said to have been used in leaching buckeyes. Tag: "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Openwork basket, dome shaped. The catalog card mentions both use as leaching basket and as a hat. The warps are probably willow. There are a few weft rows of possible split unpeeled redbud, as well as some material like willow roots. The basket looks like it might of had a handle, there are two broken warps on the interior that the handle would have attached to. The basket has a crossed warp start with two wefts in an x over it. The basket is three strand twined. The rim is trimmed. The basket has an exterior workface, a rightward work direction, and an up to the right slant of weft twist. The basket was collected from a Pit River woman, but does not appear to be from that area. The start is unusual with a design element present that is not found in Yuki twined baskets. The materials and techniques are not similar to Yuki baskets. The start is similar to some Wailaki openwork baskets, but the materials and three strand twining are not present in the Wailaki baskets in the Hearst Museum collections.
