Rustic Woven Round Basket Large Wicker Jute Rope

This is a handwoven sweetgrass basket, a traditional Gullah art form originating from the Lowcountry region of South Carolina.
The craft has been passed down through generations of the Gullah community since the 1700s, with origins tracing back to West Africa.
Originally used as winnowing fans to separate rice from its chaff, these baskets are now highly sought after as decorative art pieces and cultural souvenirs.
They are typically made from locally harvested natural materials such as sweetgrass and bulrush, often featuring intricate, tightly coiled designs.
The basket in the image has a distinct circular base and a rim adorned with dark, scalloped edges, possibly made from pine ones and Jute rope. Inside has a solid fabric bottom.
