High bid $77.00

Status: Sold

Older Choctaw Native Indian basket hand crafted with a small loop handle for hanging. Basket is known as the "Heart" shaped basket. Sometimes confused with the Bull or Cow Nose baskets (those do not have pointed ends) Made of rivercane and is approx 9"H without handle. The cane has started to darken from age. There's some green colored ink or such noted in a small area inside. Basket feels like it may have been preserved with something. It made the basket pretty strong, and it's in really great shape for age! ~Az
