Catalogue Description: Globular Wasco 'Sally' basket made from cornhusks and decorated primarily with large, colored, woolen star patterns. Although woven in Wasco style, it uses a Nez Perce design. The design of eight-point stars is made with yarn threads in a full-twist overlay technique. Appears part Shasta - part Plateau in style on a corn workbag. The rest of the design is sturgeon-back (showing the skeleton as if looking down on the fish). Condition: overall condition is fragile with walls slightly collapsed and very buckled. Wool colors are faded.
