High bid $22.00

Status: Sold

Antique Rivercane basket looks Native made, quite some time ago at that. Hand woven with natural dye in the weave (looks like butternut that has darkened with time) Double cane woven for the handle with wide cane wrapping. This Basket is a amazing find! Aging well, with some use noted. Seen in the breaks in the weaving, mainly bottom. Designed to gather plenty of eggs, harvest, flowers, etc. Approx 12"H x 14"W - The cane has areas of darkening from age and use. Really great find for collectors! This basket like many in this auction were part of a private collection gathered over many, many years. ~Az
