Description
This maple storage basket was made by Dinah George. Traditional storage baskets were made to safeguard dry foodstuffs, clothing, and other domestic goods. To maximize their capacity—and minimize the space they occupied—storage baskets were typically as tall or taller than they were wide. Although rivercane is generally believed to have the longest history in Cherokee basket construction, baskets are also woven using white oak, honeysuckle, and maple.
