Deer antler vintage rib-style woven basket. The deer antler is the handle and is lashed to the rim of the basket with rawhide strings. The antler (synthetic) becomes the focal point. A leather strap is inserted in holes made in the antler to allow to hang the basket. The ribs are rattan and the woven material seems to be flat reed. The top edge of the basket is decorated all around with deer rawhide nicely scalloped and fringed. It is nicely patinated. The rib basket has been called 'the cadillac of baskets' because it is difficult to master. This basket is well made and stands flat on a surface or can be suspended.
