#98B • Antique Cherokee Rivercane Storage Basket Fishbone

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

High bid $85.00

Status: Sold

Hand crafted a long time ago! Cherokee River Cane storage basket with a woven pattern much like the "Fish Bone or Arrows" pattern. The bottom shows loss of the weaving in the bottom center. There's a aged walnut dye weave woven into the top twist around the rim. Basket is approx 5" deep, about 9.5" x 13.5" - long enough it could have held a loaf of bread or two. Hand dyed cane weaves of bloodroot and walnut have started to fade to time. Flat bottom basket was well made yet has areas of broken weave. For age, basket is in good shape. Basket comes from a private collection. ~Az
