Rectangular tray with cross patterns. The tray has a low wall around the perimeter. The rim of this wall has false braiding around it. The tray is primarily yellow and demonstrates closed twining. There are also imbricated dark brown and red brown elements. In the base of the tray the imbricated motif is formed from small squares formed by five smaller squares; there is a smaller square in each corner and one in the centre. On either end of the tray, seven of the five-part squares meet at an acute angle which points into the centre of the tray. In the centre of the tray, two lines formed from seven of the five-part squares bisect each other diagonally. On the exterior of the walls of the tray, the imbricated dark brown and red brown material forms triangles made of small squares. The longest sides of the tray each have four triangles adorning them and the shorter sides have three triangles. The red brown triangles and dark brown triangles are placed next to each other to form a pattern. The artist’s name is written in pen on the bottom of the tray.

Small rectangular basket with scalloped detail around edge. The scalloped edge forms an outline with peaks under which there is hollow space. This line is coiled. They majority of the basket is close twinned around wide horizontal spokes. This creates three wide bands around the perimeter of the basket. The middle band has been imbricated with a red brown material and differently texture material. The top stripe that is imbricated is the same colour as the rest of the basket but it contrasts in texture. Below it is two more decorative stripes; both are red brown. All of the stripes are plaited into the basket. There is a tag tied to the basket that has the artist’s name, community and a price written on it in pen.

The cherry bark is red. The cherry bark is black.

The dye is red, green, blue, and orange.

The object is a burden basket. The rim at the top is decorated with a basketry cord attached to the main basket at intervals of approximately 2 1/2 inches, creating a scalloped edge. The design is made by the imbrication techinque. Below the scalloped edge is a row of wolves with their tails up, (a characteristic marker of identity) circling the rim counterclockwise. There is a wave pattern throughout created by imbrication. There are four colors on the basket. The body of the basket is a natural warm brown color. The imbrication areas are natural light straw, natural? red, and dyed? dark brown. The basket is in good and stable condition. On the interior, there are some detached basketry fibers.

The object is a coiled, burden basket with imbricated geometric figures. There are some outer surface losses of light colored fibers. Overall condition good.

The object is a basket with an imbricated pattern made from brown bark, yellow bark, and ivory-yellow grass wrapped over cedar root. Imbrication is a regular overlapping arrangement technique that is used exclusively by Native Americans of the Plateau and Northwest Coast areas. The Klikitat maker used a coil technique that is more like sewing than weaving. Coiled baskets are built up spirally from the center and require two components: the first is a central core of rods or grasses serving as a foundation for the second component which is a group of fibers that simultaneously wrap around the foundation and stitch the coils together. An awl creates holes in the foundation through which fibers are pulled or stitched. While sewing is in process, imbrication decoration is also going forward. Imbrication involves wrapping dyed grasses into the basket, forming an overlapping pattern. The basket is in stable condition.
