Large historical, possibly ancient, cooking basket. 15" diameter, 5" tall, 9" diameter bottom. Center coiled, heavily repaired by period use, heavily worn. ND thinks the same person that wove the basket did the repair. Appears to have pine pitch sealing the weaving. Broken rim all over, flat central 9" bottom. This is an absolutely fabulous piece. Clearly used for everyday cooking, not ceremonial. appears to be single rod construction, but the nature of the single rods (material) is not known. This piece, and its two companion flat cooking baskets are from the Great Basin Collection of baskets, points and art, on display on Main Street In Fernley, Nevada, for about 50 years. Custom glass and wood case. Delicate. Found on private property in northwestern Nevada about 50 years ago. Never been buried.
