Bidspirit auction | Miniature Coiled Plant Fiber Trinket
Miniature Coiled Plant Fiber Trinket Basket Bowl - This small basket bowl is hand-crafted using a coiled construction technique. Wide, flat strips of natural split plant fiber are wrapped around a central foundation coil, creating a continuous spiral from the base to the rim. The material displays a warm brown color with natural tonal variations. The construction features a wide-stitch pattern where the wrapping fibers completely cover the internal foundation. The piece is utilitarian in design with a rounded base and slightly tapered rim. Diameter: 4.5 inches Height: 1.75 inches. The basket is in good vintage condition with a firm and stable structure. There is minor fraying and dryness at the termination points of the fiber strips, which is typical for aged organic materials. No major breaks or missing sections of the weaving are visible.
