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".

Dimensions

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.
