Narrative

Baskets 3372/1-2 were purchased from the maker in 2017 for use in the exhibition "The Fabric of Our Land", to hold balls of wool beside a loom (A8199) on display. The wool was being used by Debra Sparrow to make a weaving on the loom, in the centre of the exhibition. The finished weaving is now in the Museum's collection (see 3356/1).
