The design features whales about to devour a canoe with a hunter x 2 and a complex unusual striking design on the lid featuring stacked triangle forms in red, green, pink , blue and purple . The basket measures 9 3/4\" in Daimeter and stands 5 1/2\" tall.
The basket is in good condition with no splits or repairs noted but be sure to inspect and enlarge all photos as they are a very important part of this description.
The vegetable dyes have faded slightly over its life which is common and expected for a basket of this age . This museum quality basket makes an excellent display item and a fine addition to anyone\'s collection.
