A hand-woven utilitarian vessel featuring the classic double-lobed "buttocks" or melon form, reinforced by a sturdy central handle and a traditionally wrapped rim. This basket exhibits a deep, rich patina across its natural fibers, showcasing the careful craftsmanship and historical character associated with early rural domestic life. It serves as a charming and functional rustic accent, measuring approximately 13" H x 14" in diameter. Condition is noted as having minimal surface wear, with some visible loss to the wrapping on one side of the rim consistent with its age and utilitarian history.
