Basket with Lid
Ada Vilcon Thomas Native American
Individually woven strips of hand harvested, dyed, then split river cane support the double-weave pattern of this small basket and lid. Eye-catching dyes in red, black, and yellow accentuate ancestral weaving designs referencing plants, animals, and local environments. Expressing connections to land and water, time-honored designs offer striking contrast to bold diagonal stripes. On the sides yellow "Alligator Entrails" vertically meander, while tiny animal tracks define the lid shape and sides.
