Object number1955.14.117

DescriptionWoven basket in similar shape as bowl. Strips run horizontally around the basket to give it shape. A vertical, slughtly diagonal pattern is used over this. Beneath is a sideways v-shaped pattern, and these alternate throughout. Two very small twisted handles (although too close to get one's fingers through to hold) extend from opposite sides. One handle knotted around similar baskets of 1955.14.116 and 1955.14.118. On the level bottom, the pattern spirals inward in a coil.
