Julia Parker frequently combines the weaving styles of different traditions. This coiled basket exhibits characteristics of both Paiute and Pomo weaving styles. The butterfly and quail plume patterns were inspired by designs often woven by Julia’s grandmother-in-law, Lucy Telles. It was woven for inclusion in the Yosemite Museum collections.
