Miniature Basket

Cleveland Museum of Art

Miniature basket by an unknown artist. The basket is small and oval-shaped. The majority of the basket is made of light-colored woven material, possibly straw or grass. Darker brown woven material, possibly the same type, forms a pattern around the basket. The pattern consists of three horizontal rows of dark brown woven material. The basket has a flat bottom and slightly curved sides. It sits on a gray surface, casting a shadow to the right. The background is a gradient of gray, darker at the top and lighter at the bottom.
