Woven Buttocks Egg Basket Multi-Color Reed
Large hand-woven buttocks egg basket made with multi-colored rattan reed with an oak hardwood handle and frame. Extremely sturdy, this hand-crafted buttocks egg basket frame has 18 hand-tapered natural round reed ribs, not including the center rib and rims, which are painted oak hardwood. Very tightly woven with rattan reed basketweaving.
The natural and dyed rattan reed weaving is tight and without breaks. The colors I used in this large egg basket are natural, a violet-blue and creamy-orange. A fancy woven God's eye on each handle.
Handwoven ribbed baskets, are also known as the melon basket, buttocks basket, fanny basket, peanut basket, gizzard basket, bow basket, egg basket and many other regional names. This is the basket with the familiar "ojo de Dios" or God's eye wrapped pattern on each end of the basket where the handle meets the rim.
I've painted the hardwood oak handle and frame with a bright ocean blue, together with the ends of each rattan weaver. This large buttocks egg basket is in excellent condition, with no breaks or other damage to note. Used for display only. Signed and dated by the basketweaver, Kathleen Becker / Simply baskets on the underside of the basket handle.
This large buttocks egg basket measures 17.5" in length, 12.5" wide, 9" high to the basket rims and 125" high to the top of the handle. This fine handwoven buttocks egg basket can be used as a decorative storage basket and would look lovely above your kitchen cabinets!
