content: Style: Tanned Element: Fragments Shape/Form: Rectangular Manufacturing Notes: Has perforations along edge for stitching. Residue: Copper stain on side that would have faced down. Use Trace: Clear basket/mat impression molded into the surface. Comments: The mat would have been a widely spaced open mesh w/strips ~2 cm apart. The leather sat flat on the mat and worked its way down to conform to the structure of the matting. Piece is in Plexiglas now and oriented with the number on the face up side. An impressive piece of leather. It is possible that the leather was actually sewn to the mat structure, it was sown to something, thats for sure. Perhaps this was a sort of tray comprised of basket and hide covering. Has same no. as lg twill basket, but I can't figure out how they might have been associated. Part 8 of 8
