Rare Northern California Native American Karuk Yurok Hupa Lidded Pedestal Basket
Here is another amazing basket with incredibly tight twining, uniform in each tiny weave. It measures 3-3/4 inches tall and is 3 inches wide. It has a short, small pedestal woven into the pot, but, at only 1-38 inches in diameter, it is not wide enough for the cup to stand with the lid on, although it might when full. It has a lid with a woven in finial or double knob like handle on top. It reminds me of an Acorn. The only decoration is some thin black lines and dashes on the body and lid, and some tiny red dots on the body. The basket has a beautiful patina, evident when you see how much lighter it is where the rim of the lid covered the top edge. I believe this to be from the 1930s or 40s.
