Very old hemishperical coiled basket with open stitch. Per Ralph Shanks: Coiled globular basket bowl, probably made for food serving. Some food residue in the base of the interior. The wefts are widely spaced. The basket has a sewn over clock spring coiled start. The coil foundation is splint and rods of peeled redbud shoots. The wefts are sapwood (interior) redbud. There are no random rectangles. The rim is plain wrapped; the rim coil ending is missing. The weft fag ends are primarily bound under. The weft moving ends are primarily concealed. The basket has non-interlocking stitches. The wefts on the exterior are less than 10% split; the wefts on the interior have over 50% split. The basket has an exterior workface, with a rightward work direction, a down to the right slant of weft twist.
