Description: Medium Twisted Edge Sweetgrass Gullah Bowl Basket, Charleston, SC - SIGNED - 7in Sweetgrass baskets are one of the nation’s oldest and most beautiful handicrafts of African origin.For more than 300 years, people in Charleston have been weaving baskets using locally-harvested bulrush, a strong yet supple marshgrass that thrives in the sandy soil of Lowcountry. Originally used as winnowing fans to separate the rice seed from its chaff, sweetgrass baskets are regarded among the nation’s most prized cultural souvenirs. This beautiful basket displays the weaver's pride in her work with her name, Edna L. Huber, inscribed on the bottom. This basket was purchased from the artisan at the Charleston City Market in 2005. It is approximately 7 inches in diameter. Item is in pristine condition. Used for display only in a smoke-free home. Please review all photos and the video carefully. I have attempted to display all of the surfaces as accurately as possible for your consideration. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Returns are not accepted. Immediate payment is appreciated.
