Traditionally Luiseno baskets made in the San Diego area were done in simple designs, often indicating water or the symbols for water. These baskets were almost always made from dried juncus coiled around a base of either shredded juncus or whole deer grass stalks. The dark root end of the juncus was used for color or design, but juncus was also dyed using mud, black walnut husks or elderberry leaves.
