Circa early 20th century

Size: 7 1/2 inches in diameter x 3 5/8 inches deep.

Condition: Mint and flexible. Slightly uneven in form.

Description: This is an exceptional basket from the upper Klamath River. Made from gathered native plants in the traditional style. Materials are tule cordage warps and tule wefts in a full twist overlay. It is the shape of this basket which is unusual in that baskets of this form are more typically found in the great basin made by Washoe and Paiute weavers.
