Coiled Basket

Coiled Basket

Part of the Elsie Allen Pomo Basket Collection Perfect symmetry was achieved in the three part design groups. The deep black patterns are triangular arrowhead shapes with a border line. These are woven in the dyed root of the bulrush. The coiling is single rod construction with a willow warp and a sedge grass root weft. The shape is wide and globose that has a nice appeal. Coiling is clockwise when viewed from above and the rim termination is plain.
