- Long description
- Basket of cane, grass & wickerwork. The basket is rectangular in shape and woven in a lighter colour and a darker colour. The darker colour is used to create a repeating geometric pattern around the sides of the basket and alternating rectangular bands on the bottom surrounding a section of triangular patterning. The entire basket is suspended within a wooden frame which has a larger rectangle on the bottom and a smaller one at the top and slanting upright struts at the corners. [MOBB [OPS move] 16/11/2016]
