Miniature Cradle Basket
Part of the Elsie Allen Pomo Basket Collection
Cradle Basket---An infant doll is wrapped in the swaddling straps and a tumpline is also shown in this model. 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.
