Basket

Physical description

Woven bark basket. Base is a rectangle with rounded corners, sides flaring up and outward toward the rim. Among the wrapped strips of cedar in rows along the body are two rows of imbricated diamond shaped designs at top and a single line of gammadion crosses around the bottom. Several thongs of hide are attached as loops through the basket near the lip, through which is strung a braided wool cord with a wide handle. Handle is woven with pink and brown fibres in a diagonal pattern.
