Basket2516/7

Tightly woven, split-rattan basket with vertically alternating rows of black and plain rattan near the rim. Underneath, a snake-like motif in black is outlined by horizontal rows of black above and below. In middle of basket, an inter-connected cane-like motif is depicted in black. The snake-like motif appears again below this. At the bottom of the basket are a series of alternating horizontal rows of black and plain rattan. At the rim is a green synthetic cord which is connected through a pattern of white synthetic fibre coils. The cord runs twice around the rim and then down the outer wall to go through a hole in the centre of the base where the two ends are knotted together.
