High bid $82.00

Status: Sold

Older hand crafted Choctaw Indian basket in a "Heart" shape. Basket is often confused with the Bull or Cow Nose baskets (those do not have pointed ends) Made of rivercane and has a twisted cane handle tied on each end. The handle has an older "repair" - Someone tried to weave brown thread around handle to hold it together. Basket is approx 12"H x 12"W without handle. The basket has fading weave colors, and a few small breaks in the weaving.. Older Choctaw basket has a nice curve to the top on both sides for ease of use. Basket is still in good condition for age! ~Az
