Very Early Native American Rustic Woven Burden Basket

A true piece of history uncovered from an estate in SW Washington State. Handwoven burden basket believed to be Native American in origin. This piece shows traditional coiled construction, natural fiber materials, and age-consistent wear, reflecting its history as a functional utilitarian vessel. The form, texture, and patina suggest an authentic ethnographic basket rather than a decorative reproduction. A striking piece of cultural history that would be at home in a serious collection or museum-style display.
