Part of the Elsie Allen Pomo Basket Collection Peeled willow sticks are lashed together with cotton line in horizontal bands that appear braid-like. A circular rod is bound on at the top of the cradle to form a kind of "roll bar" for the baby as well as a carrying handle. This example also has cotton string utilized for the swaddling straps and the tumpline. This was a favorite form of gift basket from Elsie Allen. Miniature - not full size.
