This

storage
basket
was
made
by
Cherokee
basket
weaver
Agnes
Welch
.
Dyed
with
blood
root
and
walnut
root
, the
basket
is
a
combination
of
darks
and the
lighter
natural
color
of
white
oak

make
an
overall
pattern
.
Agnes
Lossie
Welch
(1925-1997)
was
known
for
making
white
oak
baskets
.
Unlike
most
Cherokee
basket
weavers
, she
did
not
learn
this
craft
through
her
family
.
Instead
,
Welch
learned
to
make
baskets
in
school
, from
Lottie
Queen
Stamper
(1907-1987)
.
Stamper
taught
Welch
to
weave
traditional
rivercane
baskets
;
later
,
Welch
learned
to
make
white
oak
baskets
from her
mother-in-law
.
White
oak
basketry
became
Agnes
Welch's
specialty
. She
is
also
known
for her
creative
use
of
natural
dyes
to
make
distinctive
basket
patterns
. The
photograph
,
taken
by the
Indian
Arts
and
Crafts
Board
,
appeared
in the
1972
brochure
, "
