#91 • Lg Coushatta River Cane Gathering - Harvest Basket

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

High bid $75.00

Status: Sold

Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana - hand woven rivercane (swamp cane) basket. Oval in shape with rounded bottom for ease of use. Rounded bottom baskets are good for gathering, harvesting, etc. The roundness helps with weight distribution while either carrying or placing on ground. Double thick twisted cane handle was woven together for use. There's weave of red still visible, though fading. The red color remains inside basket. This one makes a great storage basket too. It's still in really good shape for use! Approx 9" deep, measuring just the opening, basket is about 10"W x 14"L without handle. Strong sturdy bottom shows age and use wear. A couple breaks in the weave noted from age/use as well. Still a great basket for collecting! This one like 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
