Basket Item Number: 2965/1 a-b from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Loosely woven square cedar basket with a detached handle (part b). The loose weave pattern is achieved by crossing the warp series in open twined work. On the walls of the basket the cedar warps criss-cross diagonally, fitting between the thinner and widely spaced weft. The base of the basket is made of thicker strips of cedar in a checkerboard pattern. The handle is short and braided.
