Description
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!!
