The object is a globular, Wasco, 'Sally' basket made from cornhusks, its main decorations being large colored woolen star patterns. Although woven in Wasco style, it uses a Nez Perce design. The overall condition of the basket is fragile with walls slightly collapsed and very buckled. Wool colors are faded. Design is eight point stars. It is made with yarn threads, full-twist overlay technique. Appears part Shasta - part Plateau in style on a corn workbag. The rest of the design is sturgeon -back (showing the skeleton as if looking down on the fish).

Fully dressed doll with a coconut husk base, beaded necklace and earrings.This type of doll was created extensively for the burgeoning tourist market during the ealry 1900s.

The cherry bark is red and black.
