content: Notes by the collector, Emilienne Ireland: Men's basket, typically made of inner bark strips wrapped on a wood frame, used for carrying heavy loads, or storing supplies in the home. Such baskets emphatically do not have ornamentation. Note additional length of bark strip to be used to lace the basket shut after it is filled. Compare this basket to item #557, E435237. That one is basic and utilitarian. This one (No. 205, E435239) has comfortable webbing all across the section that lies on the man's back.
