1850-1900
Description
This small splint basket has an oval “melon” shape which bulges outwards at either bottom side. The handle is formed of a curved splint which extends across the basket’s center. The maker and origin of this basket is unknown, but its shape and the techniques used in its construction suggest it may have been woven by a Native American artist.
