A very old coiled bottleneck basket--the bottleneck is very slight. It measures 5.5 diameter across mouth and is 6 tall. The original design consisted of paired columns of stacked diamonds and what appears to be a wide horizontal band of redbud. The foundation consists of both rods and bundles, which may indicate a possible 1850 date, and the body is willow and redbud. This was possibly a recepticle for liquid--perhaps pine nut gruel--which accounts for the discoloration. There are a few missing stitches around the top rim and the foundation rod is borken in one place. From the Tahoe Wovoka Estate Collection. Wovoka Collection HKA#63017
