A very fine rare early Northwest Coast Tlingit Indian twined huge gathering and storage basket dating from the mid 1800\'s. This type of very large basket were known as affectionately as Grandmother baskets. The Ethnographic baskets were generally stored folded and stored flat and thus is what is seen here This is one of group of baskets we acquired that were de-accessioned from the Burke Museum in Seattle. This very finely woven ( approx 30/stitches per inch) basket is woven from split spruce root and the complex stunning false imbricated designs from natural and dyed bear grasses in red,green, cream, purple and black . The design features multiple complex striking geometric cross patterns that are unique to both sides. Being stored flat the colors have been exceptionally preserved. This basket measures a massive 18\"by 11\" tall and is in \"as is \" condition with loses noted at the top edge and sides and scattered splits as seen in the photographs., but still a very collectible rare large striking example of Tlingit basketry skill. This basket would display well in a shadow box and is a fine example of the best of the best type of weaving produced by the Tlingit. This basket would have been used Ethnographically as a gathering or storage basket.This museum quality basket displays beautifully and is worthy of the finest collections.Please add $15.95 for careful shipping and insurance (USA), we\'ll be happy to combine shipping if feasible.
