Description
Large, bowl shaped twist weave basket, ribs protrude .2 -.3 cm. from final row of stitching. Stitching accomplised by two strands twisted around each rib, three separate rows are woven with one stitch around two ribs, possibly to give basket greater stability as well as provide variety in texture. Ten rows of dark brown geometric designs contrast the light brown plant fiber background, these panels appear to be made from bark. Ribs meet at center bottom and rise to a slight rounded point on inside. 3.5 cm. diameter in center is reinforced by overlapping stitches binding three ribs each. Marks: on tag attached to rim "Poma B43115 55.00".

Description
Multi coloured middle Eastern tapestry in white, blues and browns. Warp runs width wise and appears to be made from animal hair rather than sheep's wool. Most of the warp ends, or fringe, have become untwisted. Tapestry has a woven patch 5.5 x 4.5 cm. on length wise edge, although technique and pattern are the same as tapestry, the colours used are distinctly different, grey, pink and green. The patch appears to be sewn on top of original work as there is no sign of it on the back side. Stitching has become fragile with age, one corner is severely frayed, stitching between warp threads has broken in several spots on the two width wise ends.
