Description
This
undated
white
oak
basket
was
made
by
Cherokee
basket
weaver
Minda
Hill
Sequoyah
Wolfe
(1897-1983)
.
Large
baskets
of this
shape
and
size
were
traditionally
used
to
transport
agricultural
products
, to
gather
vegetables
from the
field
or
garden
or to
take
dry
foodstuffs
to
market
. The
handle
is
woven
into and
beneath
the
basket
to
give
it
strength
,
allowing
its
user
to
carry
heavy
load
.
Wolfe's
basket
is
dyed
with
walnut
and
bloodroot
to
achieve
the
brown
and
orange
colors
that are
woven
into the
basket
. With
such
fine
decoration
,
it
was
more
likely
made
to be
taken
shopping
,
rather
than
used
in a
garden
. The
basket
is
rib
construction
.
Wolfe
was
part
an
active
basket
weaving
family
. Her
sister
,
Alice
Sequoyah
Walkingstick
demonstrated
basketry
at the
Oconaluftee
Indian
Village
.
Wolfe
taught
five
daughters
to
weave
:
Dinah
Wolfe
,
Lillian
Crowe
,
Annie
James
,
Katie
Panther
, and
Ollie
Crowe
.
