Small Egg Basket with Beaded Design
Ira Blount · late 20th Century
This small basket is made of wood splints and round reeds woven in a plain weave. Purple reeds surround the woven God’s Eye design that connects the handle to the body of the basket. Glass pony beads attached to the handle complement the purple reeds, giving this piece a colorful, playful aesthetic.
