{"product_id":"golden-locks-small-braided-handled-basket-woven-of-hair","title":"SOLD Golden Locks, Small Braided, Handled Basket Woven of Hair","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis small basket is woven--braided--entirely of hair. Whether human or horse I am not entirely certain; i might guess the latter, but the hair is more soft than coarse, and fairly fine. I purchased it in Nashville from an Ohio-based dealer, and know it came from a large collection of baskets from an estate there. I have found a few examples of Native American baskets woven of horse hair (\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTohono O'odham and Koasati ((Couchatta)) examples specifically) but the braided construction of this one is of a different sort, and it feels more folky to me. In any case, something pleasingly uncanny about a basket woven from hair, and it also feels like an especially apt vessel for storing other tiny treasures (i.e. baby teeth, butterfly wings, victorian hair locks, etc!) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 9\/16\" d x 3\" t. Good condition. Some slumping to the handle as pictured, and general light wear. I used a q-tip to do some light dusting to the interior where some had accumulated.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47813873795326,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_4994_af3f1ff5-bca7-466c-b9a2-d8020a9e8d4c.jpg?v=1771270644","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/golden-locks-small-braided-handled-basket-woven-of-hair","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
