DescriptionWoven wall hanging basket with a rectangular base and slightly flared sides including the back which extends beyond the height above the rest of the edge of the basket.

There is also two wider warp splints in the middle that are separated by a single narrow warp splint. The rim is wood splint single bound with another wood splint. The upper part of the back is vaguely pyramid shaped with mostly narrower warp splint with a wide warp splint in the center of the back top. Attached to the back is a loop of string for hanging. The top most section of warp splints appear to be dyed blue/green.
