Description
This undated flower basket was made by Cherokee basket weaver Evelyn Calhoun. Open baskets such as this one were used decoratively, to display flowers or hold fruit. The shallow basket body is dyed with walnut and yellowroot, to produce radiating bands of brown and yellow. Bloodroot was used as a dye to achieve the orange color that is woven into the basket.
