Taylor was a master Cherokee basket weaver from the Birdtown community in Cherokee, North Carolina who specialized in making white oak baskets. This large storage basket was dyed with walnut root to create the dark stripes that run up the sides of the basket. The basket measures 14" by 13" in diameter. The exact date of this photograph is unknown, but the basket was made in 1982 and is also shown in QACM_Taylor_Emma_12. |
