Add a touch of timeless, primitive elegance to your home with this exceptional, handwoven vintage buttocks basket (also referred to as an Appalachian egg or melon gathering basket).
A classic piece of American folk art heritage, this utilitarian basket features the iconic double-lobed silhouette traditionally designed by Appalachian mountain makers to ride comfortably on the hip during harvests. The structure is woven with tight, undulating natural wicker coils and anchored at the handles with traditional, intricate "God's Eye" diamond weaving for maximum structural stability. A striking, thick twisted bentwood central handle completes the piece, offering a secure grip and a heavily textured, organic presence.
Perfect as a sculptural tabletop centerpiece, a focal point for primitive vignettes, or functional farmhouse storage for eggs, fruits, or linens.
