Basket Maker's Splint Gauge

Clarence Secor

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large, horizontal object resembling an ancient, stylized boat with two upward-curving ends and seven evenly spaced domed shapes along its length. The color palette consists primarily of earthy tones, including brown, with subtle variations in shading and texture giving it a weathered appearance. Positioned centrally on a plain, light beige background, the object stretches across the image while maintaining a slight tilt upwards at the outer edges.
