Basket

MOA: University of British Columbia

3262/4

Round basket with attached lid. Basket is made of strips of black ash wood, in a variety of broad weaves. Around centre of body are two strips of twisted bark that create a wooden curl. Both above and below are strips coloured light pink. Near base is a thin braid of green-coloured bark. Two handles sit opposite each other, circles of bark attached by a curl under the rim. Lid is connected to body by black thread, which also sews strips of bark together to create lid’s rim. Green braids are woven around edge, and bark curls attach a handle to centre of lid.
