Basket with oval mouth that tapers to a square base. Spruce root (?) is used to stitch the bark together and to finish the rim by lashing a reinforcing strip of wood to the upper edge using a series of repeatedly increasing and decreasing lengths of stitch (up to 1 cm) to form a jagged pattern. A scraping technique is used to decorate the basket in horizontal bands of light and dark. Pattern consists of three dark horizontal bands at the top followed by a repetition of a wider band saw-toothed on both upper and lower edges and two narrow horizontal bands; this is repeated four times. The decoration does not quite match on both sides (on one side, the last two horizontal bands do not appear). The top of the rim has the remains of a red thread flanked on both sides by a green thread that was woven into the spruce stitching.

Coiled cedar root basketry cradle (part a) with slat foundation and sides. Cradle is rounded at the higher, wider proximal end and is tapered and narrow at the distal end. Fully beaded overcast rim. Remainder of the cradle is plain on the inside and decorated with beading and imbrication on the outside. Rim pattern has mainly canary grass with several repeats of alternating cherry bark and grass. There are seven side coiled rows. First two rows repeat a pattern of closely spaced grass chevrons alternating with wider spaced red or dark brown cherry bark chevrons. Rows three and four repeat above pattern in alternating areas. Rows five and six feature three vertical red cherry bark lines alternating with a darker diamond or x-shaped pattern. Row seven is undecorated. No foot. Plain coiled bottom. Tumpline or carrying strap (part b) with wool wefts and multiple element warps is weft-faced plain weave in a light white-brown and red zigzag pattern. On each end of the strap, there is a machine-stitched, hide backed strip of plaid material which has a shell button on the strap end and a button hole at the other. Each end is buttoned over a strip of hide which is tied on each side of the cradle just below the rim with small strips of hide. There is a small piece of cordage tied to one side.

Round basket with grass twined rim. Cedar bark flange looped with grass warp strands. Sides and base are grass, twined.
