#67 • Choctaw River Cane 11" Heart Basket

Part of Memorial Day Mega Auction - Red Gallery Part 2 (timed auction by K and B Auction)

High bid $57.00

Status: Sold

Mississippi Choctaw Tribe hand crafted basket. "Heart" shaped basket often confused with the Bull Nose or Cow Nose basket (those do not have pointed ends) Made of rivercane (swamp cane) and has a twisted cane handle tied on each end. Basket is approx 9"H x 11"W without handle. This basket has dyed weaves of walnut and butternut woven into the natural cane. The "point" has a small break in the weave along with a couple small areas. Still a nice tightly woven Choctaw basket. ~Az
