Description:
This small basket was created with large strands of dyed fiber to reveal a dark "diamond" pattern that is present on both the inside and outside of the basket. A dark line pattern is also seen on the top and bottom of the basket. As a result of natural dyes and age, the darker portions of the basket have started to fade. A small basket, this item might have been sold to tourists. AP2018
