It is Completely Hand Woven - Hand Made out of Heavy Gauge Indigenous Brown Ash Wood and was Designed to be Durable. It would have to have been Made by an Experienced Weaver as The Fine Detail in the Making - Workmanship Would Indicate. Based on my Experience I Believe that it Most Likely Comes From the Upstate New York Region. It has Developed a Wonderful Color with Naturally Aged Patina Over the Years that Cannot be Duplicated. It is in Excellent Cosmetic - Strong & Sound Usable Condition - Displays Beautifully. It is Not Perfectly Round but That Appears to Original - The Way that it was Made. Note that These Types of Antique American Baskets in This Kind of Condition are Becoming Very Hard To Find These Days. It Would Display Wonderfully as a Centerpiece for Fruits - Vegetables - Flowers - Nuts - Etc. in a Country Kitchen Table Setting.
It Measures Overall Approx. 4 1/4 inches Tall x 13 inches Long - Wide
