At the base there is plain twining to the edge, where there is one weft row of three strand twining. Plain twining then continues to the rim. The warp sticks are crossed at the top row, as well as a few other areas on the basket. At the rim the basket has two closer spaced rows of wefts. At the rim the warps are bent and then woven into a herringbone pattern, bound down to the interior, and then cut. The basket has an up to the right slant of weft twist. The basket has a rightward work direction with an exterior workface. The basket is from Northwestern California, possibly Wiyot based on the Eel River collection area and the smooth weaving of the basket.
