Hand crafted Chitimacha 5.5" River Cane tray basket in a "Bull's Eye" pattern. Bowl features the traditional "red cane" weave around the hem which is a Darden family mark (started by Melissa Darden's Grandmother) The red hem has faded on this one too. It may be an earlier work of her Grandmother's or another elder from the Darden family. The red has turned an orange color with age. The cane has darkened quite a bit, especially on the bottom as well. What an Amazing tightly woven pattern on this basket! ~Az
