BasketEf243 a-b

Basket (part a) of coiled variety, made in three pieces - base, body, and lid (part b). Base has been constructed first, and body which rounds out the sides and narrows at top is coiled above it. Material of inner coil is untwisted natural grass, added to at the free end. As coiling progresses, it is bound with a shining grass fillet to coil beneath with a stitch or wrap at very narrow intervals at centre, increasing to 1.5 cm. intervals. A triangular pattern made by over-weaving the shiny fillets on the finished basketry occurs on the base, sides, and lid.
