Sally Patchin Hand Painted Woven Basket - This Sally Patchin hand painted basket is constructed from woven wood splints with a flared, square profile. The body of the vessel is finished with a dark black pigment. The exterior sides are decorated with hand-painted floral motifs in a folk art style, featuring red five-petal flowers with yellow centers and green leaves. The top rim is reinforced with a thick, wrapped binding that shows wear to the dark finish, exposing the natural wood underneath. The bottom of the basket features a wide, open-weave grid pattern. Width: 13 inches Height: 4 inches. The item exhibits moderate surface wear consistent with age and use. There is significant rubbing and loss to the black finish on the exterior ribs and along the top rim. The hand-painted floral decoration shows minor areas of flaking and pigment loss. The woven structure appears structurally sound with no major breaks or missing splints.
