This cylindrical lidded storage basket is constructed from natural fibres, featuring alternating horizontal bands of flat-woven splints and twisted rope-like braids. The weaving incorporates subtle muted blue-green dyed accents within the braided sections. The circular lid is finished with a central turned wooden knob handle. The interior demonstrates the same weaving technique with more pronounced colour in the dyed strands. The design is in the style of Wabanaki or Abenaki basketry from the Northeastern United States and Canada. Dimensions measured from visible tape measure showing inches: Height approx. 49 cm Diameter approx. 35.5 cm. Condition: The basket remains in fair to good condition, showing surface wear, minor fraying of the natural fibres, and occasional loose strands throughout, commensurate with age and practical use.
