A 19th C. Charleston SC. Fanna basket used for the winnowing of rice. This would have been slave made in the traditional Gullah work. The core material consists of bundles of a long, slender, sweet-smelling grasses that grow near the coast along the marshes that is sometimes called sea straw. This is a RARE basket most often only found in Museums. It is 20 inches D., 5 inches H. Near mint condition with hardly any breaks which is remarkable due to its use and age. |
