I find this basket a deeply beautiful thing, in very large part for its very rich patina--which is what won the dealer I purchased it from too, who lived with it for some 30+ years. It is African, from the Pokot tribe of Kenya I believe, and would have been used for grain and flour. Clearly very much used, with a leather carrying strap that wore through at center from the weight of carrying things in it. (One broken end was pulled through a hole in the other some time ago and holds in place.) This one is all about presence, which photos can't fully convey.
5" in diameter x 3 1/2" t not including leather strap. Stable and sound, with ultra rich patina. Some old losses from use, mostly around the rim, to my eye not at all detracting.
