Description

Large, circular, woven cedar basket with lid. The basket is round at the base and flares out toward the shoulder, narrowing again toward the rim. Basket is coiled in construction, with a fine horizontal pattern of imbrication over every other coil. Two small handles sit on the shoulder, attached by leather thongs. The lid is slightly convex and is topped by a coiled knob. The fine imbrication continues on the lid, there is a diamond motif closer to the centre, the knob is surrounded by an 8 point star in red and is topped with another in brown. Three leather thongs attach the lid to the basket.
