Basket

The donors gave this collection "in memory of all the beautiful weavers who have taken a bit of this or a bit of that and created something for all to behold."

Plaited square basket with rounded corners. Around the top edge of the basket, the cedar bark is folded over so that the ends of the pieces are exposed around the exterior of the basket. The folded pieces are held in place with a thin piece of bark which demonstrates plain twining. The basket is primarily red brown but there are two bands of contrasting dark brown plaited around the middle of the basket. The bottom of the basket is also plaited but with much wider pieces. The artist’s name is written in black pen on the bottom of the basket. There is a small paper tag attached to the basket which has the artist’s name, community and a price written on it in pen.
