Hearst Museum object titled Cooking basket, accession number 1-97844, described as Twined, tub-shaped; 4 bands of design in Xerophyllum tenax overlay, the lower 3 are chevron bands; reinforcing row of lattice twining at rim. Three break-outs in rim, several cracks. Pine root weft; peeled shoot warp sticks. Mainly plain twined. Tag: "Wailaki attr.". Per Ralph Shanks: Twined cooking basket, used. Crossed warp start, not a traditional wrapped Northwest California style starting knot, it has seven plain twined rows on the exterior and interior, probably over seven warps. See 1-2543 for a similar start. The warp material is a peeled shoot, possibly willow; the wefts are conifer root with an overlay design in beargrass. Starting at the starting knot there is three strand twining for about 3/4 inch, followed by plain twining up to the one row of lattice twining over a large rod, which is natively repaired in at least one area; after the lattice twining there is two rows of three strand twining followed by two rows of plain twining. The rim is trimmed with no warp sticks protruding. The basket somewhat undulates. The work direction is to the right, with an exterior workface and up to the right slant of weft twist. The overlay is irregular double sided, with the main design on the exterior. The basket was attributed to the Wailaki by Larry Dawson based on a comparison with 1-12121, but if one looks at 1-2543, which is Lassik, there is enough similarities to bring an absolute attribution to Wailaki into question. The basket is probably then either Wailaki or Lassik.
