For centuries, Choctaw basket makers have created works of art from the swamp cane that flourishes along Mississippi creek banks. When a present-day basket maker seeks out, cuts and prepares her cane, she uses the same methods as generations of Choctaw women before her. She also adds her own innovations that reflect the changing times. Once, baskets used in the field and the home. Even hotsell today, some of he basket styles reflect their original functions. Egg baskets, hamper baskets, and vegetable baskets once held farm produce. Now they hold a place in treasured collections.
A rare addition to your collection.
