Description

One basket handle from a bundle made up of three smaller bundles of basket handles, tied together with twine. Sizes vary. All are bent into the bonnet-shape. One bundle has ten handles, flat, with no notches. The second bundle has twenty-one handles, with no notches. The last bundle has eleven handles, double-notched, with flat tops and slightly rounded undersides.

Notes

(#1958.10609.1a - #1958.10609.1s) The group of handles for small baskets actually includes 31 bundles, though some were tied together and have been left that way. There are 318 handles in total, per the accession card, though this count may be off.
