Hearst Museum object titled Basket, accession number 1-234111, described as Coiled, globular. Right angle designs in redbud on sedge root. Coiling in redbud and sedge root. Per Brian Bibby: This basket is similar to a basket at State Parks (155-4) from the Dolores Juarez Unger donation in 1954. Both baskets include red & white stickers with "Lake" and "Lola Brown". The two examples are quite similar -- same rim finish, start, and splicing. Even the design layout is based on four points. I don't think they were necessarily made by the same weaver, because the individual workmanship is a little different. But it certainly could be a mother-daughter, or close relatives from the same community. Whatever the exact scenario, these two baskets are closely related, and linked historically. The State Parks example was once spot feathered with acorn woodpecker in the negative space, and once had clam shell disk beads sewn onto the rim.
