Baby Basket

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Baby Basket by an unknown artist shows a woven basket with a long, oval shape and no lid. The basket's body is made of numerous thin, horizontal strips of brown material, possibly wood or plant fibers, woven together. A decorative pattern of red, orange, yellow, and green hues is visible on the exterior. The interior appears to be a lighter shade of brown. A thin rope or cord is visible at the top edge, possibly used for carrying or hanging. The background is a plain gray color with a subtle shadow cast by the basket.
