SECHUANA BOTSWANA BASKET - HARTFORD MUSEUM

Item Details

Description

Important African Antique Sechuana Botswana Basket. The basket is from the Hartford Theological Seminary Foundation Museum Collection. Measures 13x13x6. Brought back from one of their early Mission trips. The old tag reads Bechuanaland Protectorate 1916. Used for Corn, meal etc. In 1978 the Hartford Seminary decided to close its museum and liquidate its collections. Most of the items were sold at Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, like this basket. Molepolole is a village in Botswana. It lies in the south east of the country. The people who reside in Molepolole are the Bakwena, who are one of the eight major tribes in Botswana. The Bakwena chief was among the three chiefs who went to England to seek protection from the British in the colonial era. Wt. 1 pd 1 oz. PROVENANCE: The Hartford Theological Seminary Foundation Museum; The Estate of a Litchfield Connecticut Antique & Art Dealer.
