02 - Indian Baskets, Antique Pomo Basketry: c. 1890 Large Storage Basket, Twined Bamtush (9.25" ht x 11.5" d), 1890
9 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches
Large, rounded formed storage basket with only some minor wear at the rim as pictured. The warps are cut by the weaver with about a 1/4" - 1/2" above the last weft; and the only wear is that a few of these exposed extended top rim warps have worn. None of the weft itself is damaged. Very rare to find in this top condition as the few that make it to market are typically glued or restored. This is all original, best condition we have seen for a Pomo bamtush storage basket.
