Description
"This tiny, 15 inch long basket is a doll's basket, modeled by Emma Frank, a Hoopa Indian, after the baskets used for live Indian babies. This basket is authentic in every way, except it has one thing the other two do not have: that is a little sun guard to protect the eyes of the baby. The sun guards on the other baskets have long since worn out. Maiden-hair fern trim decorates the rim of the basket. "Related People and Organizations
