Description
Large Native American "Mission" 15" Coiled Grain Basket, Early 20th Century
A coiled cooking basket is a type of basket traditionally used for cooking, especially in various indigenous cultures around the world. These baskets are crafted by coiling materials such as reeds, fibers, or grasses into a circular shape and then stitching them together to form a container. The coil starts at the center base of the basket and is wound spirally upwards to form the sides.
The structure of a coiled cooking basket is both durable and flexible, allowing it to withstand the thermal stresses of cooking processes.
