Identified there as: Large Piman basket bowl. The use of the continuous fret ornamentation in this basket is remarkable, and shows the easy manner in which the fret may have arisen in basketry. The border is a false braid formed by a single splint and resembles an elongated guilloche, an intricate repetitive pattern. Width, 18 3/4"; depth 5 1/2".
