- Description
- Basket with thin rope loops knotted around upper edge and decorated with twelve horizontal bands. Alternating solid light beige bands with patterned yellow and dark brown. The stitching on patterned bands appears to be random, a coherent geometric design is not distinguishable, rather, the design depends upon the play of contrasting colours. Bands are approximately 3 cm. wide. Bird cage construction, i.e. framework is devised by horizontal and vertical ribs, the stitching is twisted around the horizontal and vertical ribs binding them together. The thin commercially manufactured rope is knotted at 8-10 cm. intervals on upper edge, presumably for carrying. Rope is broken in several spots. Basket is in fragile condition, a 4 cm. long horizontal tear is 24 cm. from top, random broken stitches, and fastening off has come apart leaving one 4 cm. gap on upper edge. Shape is distorted from original bowl shape, rim has braided finish done with wider, flat brown fibre.
