#90 • Lg Choctaw River Cane Market Basket

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

High bid $56.56

Status: Sold

Mississippi Choctaw hand woven rivercane (swamp cane) basket. Oval in shape for market use, gathering, etc. Thick twisted cane handle was woven under basket for extra weight support to hold your market shopping. There's weave of blue green still visible, though fading. Makes a great storage basket today. Approx 7" deep x 12"W x 17"L without handle. Basket is in very good shape. We don't often find this style with the support handles. Looks very useable today, especially as storage or display. It could even be used for market shopping if desired. Most of the baskets in our auction come from a private collector's estate whom collected hard to find baskets for many, many years. ~Az
