Longitudinal opening reinforced with wooden sticks terminating in upward ends and shod with deerskin. Purchased from [dealer] Grace Nicholson, 1919, price listed $25.00, cf. her ledger p. 355 under 6661. Her 6600 numbers were probably acquired ca. 1914 - 1916. The second number, 179 (not 779), lettered on the basket, suggests she acquired it from another collector, not the Yurok. - Sally McLendon 6/1981." Of the type called a Jump Dance basket.
