Small hemispherical coiled basket. Tag: "Yuki". Per Ralph Shanks: Shallow coiled basket bowl. The basket has very little to no food residue. The basket has a twined start. The coil foundation is mixed rods and splints. The background wefts are a peeled shoot, possibly redbud, and the weft designs are in unpeeled redbud. The design is three curvilinear "V"s. There is one random rectangle. The rim is plain wrapped. The coil ending is cut off. For 1 3/4 inches the remaining coil ending is back stitched. The weft fag ends are sometimes clipped, sometimes bound under, and sometimes tucked. The weft moving ends are primarily concealed. The workface has a few split stitches; the back face has many split stitches. The basket has an exterior workface, with a rightward work direction, and a primarily down to the right slant of weft twist.
