content: Illus. Pl. 7, after p. 82 in Turner, Lucien M., and Ray Hudson. 2008. An Aleutian ethnography. Fairbanks: University of Alaska Press. Identified there as a covered basket. "This is one of several baskets that Turner collected at Atka that illustrate a transition from utilitarian fish baskets to what, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, became known as the classical Unangan covered basket. In this example, the basket was woven with open plain twining similar to fish baskets. Designs were created by twining over crossed vertical warp, a technique known from mats and utilitarian baskets. The lid with its small knob and the repetition of designs from the side of the basket, however, became characteristics of later covered baskets."
