A shallow oval handwoven basket holds embroidered and cross-stitched cloths, handkerchiefs, and other linens. Two tall arched handles rise from the woven sides, and the basket has a reinforced rim and a decorative interlaced band around its lower body. The textiles include floral sprays and borders, a pig in a farm scene, a cross entwined with a rose, and a pair of chefs at work. White and pale grounds allow the colored stitching to stand out, with several pieces finished with decorative edging. The basket measures approximately 18" x 14", with a body height of about 4" and an overall height of approximately 10" including the handles.
