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

High bid $25.00

Status: Sold

Mississippi Band of Choctaw - Tightly hand woven from River cane (Swamp Cane) Gathering basket has a rounded bottom, pointed corners. The weaver has 2 braid twists woven into the side of basket. Likely a signature mark. Basket is darkening with age. There's fading walnut and butternut dyes still visible in the weaving. Twisted cane handle shows good aging, as does most of the basket. Approx 13"H x 9"W - Slightly misshapen from use, basket remains in pretty good condition. ~Az
