15" Diameter Southwest Arrow Basket

 The base of this basket is twined using #1 round reed..

The sides are based on the spokes from the base plus additional spokes are added during the creation of the base. The arrow design is made up of many short pieces of dyed basket material woven in a arrow pattern where some of the short pieces are woven to the left and others are woven to the right.Below and above the arrow design the basket material is twined using a three rod wale pattern.

The handles are bushel basket handles woven into the sides of the basket.

This was an interesting basket to make as it incorporated many different weaving techniques.
