Description
This
double
woven
maple
tray
was
made
by
Helen
Bradley
Smith
(1922-2007)
. The
pattern
,
made
from
bloodroot
or
yellowroot
dyes
,
is
an
example
of the
Flowing
Water
(or
Flowing
River)
design
shown
on the
interior
of the
tray
as
two
intersecting
diagonals
.
Trays
such
as these were
used
to
store
or
serve
foodstuffs
.
Maker
,
Helen
Bradley
Smith
was
born
in
1922
in the
Big
Cove
Community
on the
Qualla
Boundary
in
Cherokee
,
North
Carolina
. She
first
learned
to
make
white
oak
baskets
from her
mother
in
1937
or
1938
,
when
she was
15
or
16
years
old
; and
later
also
made
baskets
using
honeysuckle
vine
and
rivercane
. A
double
weave
tray
made
out
of
maple
is
rare
,
departing
from the
tradition
of
using
rivercane
for
double
weave
basketry
.
While
this
basket
was
made
well
after
the
Craft
Revival
period
,
it
is
an
example
of
work
made
by an
artist
who
began
working
during
the
period
.
