Lot #28: Handmade Wall Hanging Basket Crescent-shaped Woven Body and a Natural Branch Handle

This handcrafted piece is a rib basket, a traditional style characterized by construction around a central hoop and intersecting ribs. Key Visual Features: Handle: The most striking feature is the handle, made from a natural, weathered piece of driftwood or a textured tree branch. This gives the basket an organic, sculptural quality. Body Design: It features a crescent or "half-moon" shape with a deep pouch. The weaving utilizes varied natural fibers—likely willow or reed—in alternating bands of light tan and dark brown, creating a distinct striped pattern. Technique: The basket is woven using a ribbed construction, where the horizontal "weavers" are interlaced over vertical "ribs" that fan out from the driftwood handle.Embellishments: A small decorative tag is attached to the handle with a thin cord and features a single green-and-white bead.
