This is an older Cherokee hand crafted Shopper Basket and has the initials "YER" in pencil on one side. It might read "GER" - the basket is aging and so are the letters. Wide thick bent wood handle has hand carved interlocking arrows on bottom. The woven pattern is known as "Double Chief's Daughter" with a "Chain" pattern around the top. Walnut and Butternut were used as the dyes in the weaving. Bent wood rim, sturdy sides on basket. Approx 8.5" deep, about 13"H x 17"L with handle. Good condition even with wear from age and use. Basket is aging nicely! Comes from a private collector's basket collection. ~Az
