A Monster Indian Basket.

Indian baskets two and half feet in
diameter and about the same size from
top to bottom are sights which delight
the eyes of those interested in baskets.
Though they are now very. difficult to
obtain, the leading collections on the
coast and in the East all contain one or
more such. But baskets beyond these
dimensions would be very hard to OBJ
tain, for the reason that the weaver
would most likely get tired of the work
and give it up long before the basket was
finished. There are baskets in certain
museums three feet in diameter, but
they are very few, and for that reason
and because of the difficulty of duplicat-
ing them, they are very highly valued.
There is, however, one Basket (and it
deserves to be printed with a capital) of
nearly twice these dimensions. 1t is
hanging now in the market street office
of the San Francisco &c North Pacific
Railway Company, and is an object of
much interest to crowds of men and
women who have no special interest in
the ordinary Indian basket. This
basket is known as the Tee" weave,
which is the most intricate of all the
weaving done by the Indians. We
quote the following words of description
and history:
Fine reeds run through the basket
from top to bottom, and around them
are woven the strands of fibre Of which
the basket is composed. In among
these are woven the different colored
fibres which go to m axe up the pattern.
Each OF tile fl bre threads is put in it's
place as tight as the cotton IN piece of
shcating, and the pattern is as plainly
marked as if it were painted. In shape
the basket is somewhat like globe,
with the exception that the upper halt
extends outward (upward) little. That
portion of the work, however, is not ex-
ceptional. 1t is the enormous size of
the basket that makes it unusual.
The basket was made by a Poma In
dian woman in the village near Ukiah,
and the work consumed nearly two
wears. 1t was commenced in Novem-
ber, 1895, and finished only a few days
ago. Poor woman! when she started to
make the basket S00 lDLenQ6O TO eclipse
all the previous efforts of her tribe (the
most skiilful and the most celebrated
basket-makers in tine world), but she
never considered Just how big the basket
really was to be. Possibly she did not
think it worth considering; but when
she came to remove it, her difficulties
commenced, for it was found that the
basket was too large to be taken out of
the house by any of its exits. At last
the problem was solved by the purchaser
paying enough for the basket to make it
profitable for the woman to tear her
house away. This done, the basket was
soon on its way to San Francisco. The
woman realized enough on it to enable
her to live in affluence the rest of her
days, and she is now looked up to SO the
millionaire of her tribe. Her basket Is
the largest ever made of its kind, and
the chances are it is the largest that
ever will be.
