- Lot Description
Coiled Pit River basket of deep, rounded form, woven of willow, sedge root, and redbud bark, decorated with bold stepped geometric motifs and diamond devices in dark brown against a natural ground.

Coiled baskets of this type were woven for both household and ceremonial purposes.
Dimensions: 14 x 9 in.
