Round Basket with Handle
Ira Blount · 1995
This round basket has a double-lashed rim decorated with double plied twisted seagrass cord. The bottom is made of round reeds, while the sides are made of wood splints woven in a plain weave. Light pencil markings are visible inside the basket. The coated wooden handle is bent in a rectangular shape. The shape and style of the basket give it heft and functionality.
