content: SEMISPHERICAL; PLAIN TWINED WEAVING; OVERLAY TWINED DECORATION IN BLACK AND YELLOW. ACCORDING TO SALLY MCLENDON, JAN. 25, 1991, THIS BASKET IS "NOT KLAMATH BUT KLAMATH RIVER IN STYLE, I.E. FROM NORTHWESTERN CALIFORNIA. THAT IS, IT IS NOT SOFT TWINED WITH TULE WARPS AND WEFTS, BUT HARD TWINED WITH RIGID WEFTS AND HALF-TWIST OVERLAY. ALTHOUGH THE COLLECTOR, COVILLE, HAD WORKED WITH THE KLAMATH AND SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THE DIFFERENCE, HIS WIDOW GAVE THE BASKETS AFTER HIS DEATH AND POSSIBLY NO LONGER REMEMBERED THE DIFFERENCE." (APPROVED BY WILLIAM STURTEVANT, 10-31-94).
