This exceptionally beautiful, hand-woven basket is a stunning example of Southeastern Native American fiber art, highly characteristic of Cherokee or Choctaw craftsmanship. Masterfully executed in a challenging double-weave technique, the piece transitions from a square base to a rounded rim with an integrated inner wall. The photos go in sequence of the four sides starting with the third photo and the seventh photo is the bottom and then a few shots of the interior, which show the extraordinary skill of the Weaver.The exterior features a brilliant layout of geometric diamond and block configurations. Utilizing a unique decorative approach, the natural cane tones and dark brown hues are elegantly complemented by select panels highlighted with a soft, flat light blue paint rather than a glossy enamel, dye, or stain. The intricate weaving pattern shifts on each of the four sides, offering a dynamic and highly decorative display from any angle. The interior showcases a dark, dense geometric weave that highlights the complexity and skill required to produce a dual-walled vessel. A magnificent addition to any collection of indigenous arts or rustic home decor.CONDITION DETAILS:
