High bid $19.00

Status: Sold

Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana - hand woven from rivercane (swamp cane) Older antique Winnowing basket typically used for tossing harvests to remove debris (small leaves and such would be swept away by the wind) This basket has a "Chain" pattern still visible. Walnut dye has really darkened over the years! Approx 19" x 19" - cane has darkened from age/use. Areas of dark from use. Basket is in good shape except for an edge of missing weave. One corner of broken weave, yet overall it's remarkable for it's age! ~Az
