GLASS SEED-BEADED BURDEN BASKET. LEATHER STRAP WITH ONE ANTIQUE PADRE BEAD. 3″ FROM TOP OF BASKET TO BOTTOM OF FRINGE. I also group lesser books into bargain lots of very low prices just to move them.
Antique 1920 covered woven basket. no breaks in weave. Asian, either Chinese or Japanese. top fits well. across top 10 in. with top on 4 in. coins are all original.
The gold sparkles! These baskets are often given as a wedding gift among the Maasai. Made by the “mamas” of Enkereri and Emurototo villages. Yet many families cannot afford to send their children to school.
