Status: Sold

Hand crafted Cherokee Rivercane egg basket with an oval opening to help keep eggs in. Notched bent wood handle has smoothed from age/use. Woven "Chain" pattern is more notable in the bloodroot dye weave. Basket is approx 6" deep, about 5.5" x 7.5" without the handle. Hand dyed cane weaves of walnut and Bloodroot have started to fade a little. Slightly rounded bottom basket was very well made. Nice tight weaving! Basket has slightly darkened cane due to aging. It's in Very good shape. Museum worthy, comes from a private collection. ~Az
