Description
Oval Basket, beading around top and across handle. Medallion on one side features a raised man profile with helmet (Greek?) and a lizardlike reptile with a tail on top of the helmet. Basket is footed (4), has a bearded male head with leaves as if a crown at the top of each leg. Etching on both sides a circle with additional designs, textured inside the etchings. I can see inside the basket where the legs were "attached", there is an outline imprint. I can also see inside where the etchings are sopmewhat embossed into the silver too. Handle hinges are circular wth the handle "bead" nestled into the circle.
