This is a beautifully crafted basket. The quality of the stitching, design and overall appearance of this item is worthy of artistic display in a museum as well as a home. I am very pleased with this purchase and a second basket I purchased from this vendor. My only regret is I do not have a space in which to display yet a third basket. My thanks to the individual who crafted this item. It’s wonderful to see and hold quality in a day when it is becoming harder to find.
