Basket
Miniature One-rod coiled basket with bead decorations and thread handle.
The basket is willow foundation, with sedge weave and dyed bulrush designs. The design is divided into six sections, with each section containing a diamond shape at the bottom topped with an upward pointing arrow, and a clamshell bead held on with thread and faceted dark blue or black glass bead. There is a thread "handle" with 9 more clamshell beads tied in regular intervals. Clamshell beads were drilled with a steel bit, indicating that they are not very old.
