High bid $28.00

Status: Sold

Here's a basket that's hard to find! Mississippi Choctaw hand woven rivercane (swamp cane) "double" basket. Flat woven back with two baskets for use. Kitchen basket hangs on wall, approx 17.5"H x 12"W - smaller 11" basket above the 12"basket. This older basket has darkened a bit with age. The colored dye weaves of red and blue-green (indigo) have mostly faded from the front. The back still shows some of the dyes. A few breaks in the weave from age and use. Noted area on top from mounting. Wall basket remains in good shape. Both basket areas are useable. Aging nicely! Comes from a private collector's basket collection. ~Az
