Tray

Originally owned by the donor's late husband's grandmother, Eleanor Caldwell Browne. She taught at a government Indian school in Indian Valley, near Greenville, Plumas County, California, from 1897-99. It is thought that the baskets were a gift to her during that time.

Low, wide, dished tray for sifting acorn flour. Under-structure is made of willow, with tightly wrapped root. Imbrication is a dark brown colour in a lizard track design, spiraling from the rim in toward the centre or base on both interior and exterior of the tray.
