Coiled Basket

Coiled Basket

Part of the Elsie Allen Pomo Basket Collection Dyed bulrush root has been used to create black zigzag designs that undulate around the wall of this piece. Single rod coiling is the weave, clockwise when viewed from above, with a willow foundation. Sedge grass root forms the weft. A wide and flat base gives rise to sides that gently curve inward in this small but attractive example from a known weaver. .
