Description
This

was
made
by
Lottie
Queen
Stamper
,
one
of

best-known
basket
weavers
.
Using
rivercane
, the
basket
was
woven
upwards
from a
square
base
and
tapers
to a
circular
rim
.
Walnut
hulls
were
used
to
dye
the
cane
to
achieve
the
dark
brown
color
;
bloodroot
gave
it
an
orange
color
. Its
pattern
is
Man
in a
Coffin
(or
Man

, with
“coffins”
alternating
along
a
diagonal
.
Born

community
to
Levi

Mary
Queen
,
Lottie
first
learned
how to
make
white
oak
and
pine
needle
baskets
from her
mother
. She
married
into a
family
that
taught
her how to
make
baskets
from
rivercane
. In
1935
, at the
age
of
28
, she
started
making
cane
baskets
and, in
1937
, she
began
teaching
basketmaking
at the

School
.
Over
her
teaching
career

hundreds
of
girls

weave
baskets
