| Description | This undated Indian Arts and Crafts Board photograph is of a single weave rivercane basket made in 1973 by Cherokee basket maker, Rowena Bradley. The large basket was begun from a square base and woven outward before tapering in to a circular reinforced rim. Baskets of this shape served multiple domestic uses; the photograph identifies the rivercane basket as a waste basket. The basket is woven in multiple patterns. The photograph is labeled, "A waste basket made of plaited rivercane with the cross-on-the-hill in a diamond and double peace pipe designs dyed with butternut root and blood root. This outstanding basket was woven by Rowena Bradley of the painttown community of Qualla Indian Boundery, Cherokee, North Carolina." The same basket is also shown in QACM_Bradley_Rowena_07. |
