Sweetgrass basket??

Bought this basket from an older gentleman at a yard sale. From what I've found researching, it looks like it is made from sweetgrass. One side opens half way and there are pictures painted on each side:

a heart with a crown

a rooster and flowers

a house

a deer

around the handle is a pattern of  triangles

I would like to know how old this basket might be and what its original use was.

I am also interested in knowing what the value of the basket is.

Any information at all would be appreciated!!

Good
