Long description
Woven basket for storing belongings. The basket contains another smaller basket and a range of personal belongings, including a baby sling, a gourd receptacle, a 'catcher' finger stall toy in the form of a cassava squeezer, and a range of beaded neck ornaments. These items appear to have been collected from a range of places by Audrey Butt Colson and stored together by her. They are therefore not necessarily related.
