Description
This little basket is hand woven with strips of inner bark of Eastern Red Cedar. The twining rows are of Rattlesnake Master leaves, a tall grass prairie plant that was once very common in Missouri. The outer bark of young American Elm branches makes up the center gray weaver. The rim is finished with a technique commonly used among the Northwestern coastal Indians, called a Swinomish fold. The dangle is made with a Eucalyptus pod from Australia, and a shell of a Heartnut, a type of Walnut. All the woven materials for this basket were gathered and prepared entirely by hand, from the standing trees and plants to the finished basket.
