Large Old Choctaw Indian River Cane Egg Basket w/ Twisted Handle, Great Patina
Price: US $114.00
Up for sale is a beautifully woven large old Choctaw Indian river cane basket, woven in the traditional round shape. The basket has a square base morphing to a round rim with a wrapped river cane rim and a twisted overhead river cane handle. The basket is old enough to have developed an awesome aged patina. Be sure to check out the stripe on the side made from natural walnut dyes, and the fact that the side stripe was made with the shiny part of the cane on the interior of the basket. This was not a tourist item, but was intended for actual work, collecting eggs or vegetables. It would have been woven in the early years of the past century and may well be a true antique of over 100 years old. This is a very attractive old river cane basket basket from the Choctaw tribe of the Southern US and it makes a terrific piece for use or display.

The basket, as noted, is a large one, measuring 11\" from handle to handle, and 7\" deep - 13\" tall to the top of the handle. The basket is pretty good condition for its age. If you look carefully you can find several missing pieces of cane throughout, but there are no large holes or any serious damage. The handle is still firmly attached and doesn\'t wobble. See photos, as they give a true picture of the basket\'s features and condition. A very well made old Choctaw Indian river cane basket, which will make an outstanding addition to someone\'s collection.
