Description
Photograph of four unidentified Indian baskets on display, photographed ca.1900. They are displayed outside (judging from the tree foliage and part of a building visible in the background), on a table covered with a cloth and displayed hanging from a cloth backdrop with tassles. Three large ones are shaped like shallow platters, the fourth is shaped like a round jar with a narrow mouth. The small one has tassles around the perimeter of the junction between the side and top of the basket. They have differing woven patterns including hour-glasses, zig-zags, human figures, "< < ", "> > ", "W", etc. One of them bears a legible tag reading: "No. 14, Kern". Image 32.
