content: Multicolored basketry tray with foot, and conical lid with tall handle. Lid and tray have zig-zag pattern in bright pink, purple, green, and yellow. Handle is a hollow knob, with pebbles (or seeds?) inside, creating a rattle. Donor says this was "made by women in immigrant settlement. Women use the lid of the basket on their heads when dancing."
