With light imbrication of bear grass and dyed cherry bark that has largely worn away from decades of use, this basket has original leather tie ans shows food particles. It is hard and stiff as it was used as a cook basket, but also likely was a berry basket as the shape and leather ties show the sort of wear patterns that is obtained from this use as well.
A remarkable early example.
