This undated black and white photograph is of ribbed white oak fruit basket by Cherokee basket weaver Minda Wolfe. Minda Hill Sequoyah Wolfe (1897-1983) was part an active basket weaving family. Her sister, Alice Sequoyah Walkingstick demonstrated basketry at the Oconaluftee Indian Village. Wolfe taught five daughters to weave: Dinah Wolfe, Lillian Crowe, Annie James, Katie Panther, and Ollie Crowe. The basket in this photograph was dyed with walnut and bloodroot to achieve color. The photographer's name is unknown.
