content: OPEN STORAGE BASKET MADE OF NATURAL AND BLACK-DYED BURITI. "MADE BY AND OBTAINED FROM FRANCISCO, A 46 Y/OI MALE WHO SAID THAT HE MADE THIS ON SPECIAL ORDER OF AMERICAN MISSIONARIES IN IMPERATRIZ, BUT HE WANTS TO SELL TO ME. I CAN'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE, OR JUST A SALES PITCH. IN THE YEARS SINCE 1963 THAT I HAVE KNOWN HIM, I HAVE NEVER TURNED DOWN ANYTHING OFFERED TO ME FOR SALE, BUT PRICE MIGHT BE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A DECORATIVE, MADE-FOR-SALE ITEM. A SIMILAR ITEM, 426781, WAS PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME." (DR. NEWTON) HIGHLY DECORATED, DIAGONAL WEAVE, WITH 2 BLACK/RED STRIPS BELOW RIM. BELOW THIS IS A ROW OF BLACK/RED HOLLOW SQUARES, THEN ONE RED/BLACK STRIP, THEN ANOTHER ROW OF RED/BLACK SQUARES, AND FINALLY ANOTHER RED/BLACK STRIPE. BOTTOM IS 2 RED/BLACK SQUARS, ONE INSIDE THE OTHER. HAS DIRTY WHITE COTTON STRIPE TYING RIM BAND TO BASKET AND LENGTH OF THICKER WHITE COTTON TIED WHERE RIM HOOP BREAKS.
