Item Description
This one of a kind hand-woven basket will surely put a smile on your face when you look inside to see the small scrimshaw like-disc at the bottom. The open oval basket is made in the traditional Nantucket Lightship style with a tightly woven rattan body, reinforced wood bottom signed and dated by the artist and 2 curved wooden side handles nailed and woven to the basket rim. The scrimshaw disc is hand painted by artist Pamela Wilson to depict 3 Seeing Eye dogs in harness: a Yellow Labrador retriever sitting with body to the left and head to the right, a German shepherd standing to the lab’s right and a golden retriever laying in the opposite direction in front of the German shepherd. This is a perfect accessory basket for your home whether you want to leave empty to enjoy the dogs or to use to hold your mail, fruits or treats.
Item Special Note
Measures approx. 7¾" x 8¾" x 1½" (excluding the handles, width is approx 11½" wide with the handles).
