the handle. A very scarce item ! |

A very nice, well made and
unique Californian |
The obviously aged tag reads:
|
4,500.00 |
|
woven basket in perfect
condition with the |
"Sierra Nevada Mountains,

|
|
exception of 3 holes which the owner thinks were
|
Amador County, California July
|
|
|
used by a museum to mount this one on a wall for
|
1895" Some one also added in
|
|
|
display. (The adjacent strands can probably be
|
pencil "(something) Carson Valley"
|
|
|
gently pushed to cover over these piercings) The
|
Purchased from an old time
|
|
|
reason for this assumption is also based on what
|
collection in Los Gatos, CA |
|
|
appear to be an "acquisition number" in black on the |
|
|
|
inside bottom of this masterpiece. (See 2nd photo in |
|
|
|
2nd row) It's uniqueness comes from the fact that it
|
|
|
|
had 2 makers (mother & daughter ?... teacher &
|
|
|
|
pupil ?) The first weaver's stitches are very small
|
|
|
|
and tight, and travel up from the bottom to just
|
|
|
|
where the "lightening patterns" abruptly end. (see the |
|
|
|
1st photo in the 2nd row) It is at this point that a
|
|
|
|
second weaver took over and the stitching from this |
|
|
|
weaver are of a different style and slightly larger.
|
|
|
|
Quite an interesting item in GREAT condition.
