Beautiful example of very large cooking basket. Very good condition, one small mended area on rim. These baskets could be made watertight and used as cooking vessels. Cooking in baskets was accomplished by heating pebbles in a fire and then dropping them into the basket containing the gruel or soup, replacing the stones as they cooled. The heat from the stones cooked the foodstuff. City: State: Nevada Date: Early 1900's HWAC# 32155
