Finnish Galina's birch bark basket, round type. This piece was purchased at dieci. ⚫︎Size W approx. 28 x D approx. 27.5 x H approx. 28cm ⚫︎Condition It is a used item, as it was used with care, but it has aged to a beautiful amber color and is in beautiful condition, ready for use. This is a birch bark basket woven by Finnish basket maker Galina Lottanen. The birch bark used in general baskets is usually taken from the tree in a circular fashion, whereas Galina uses longer strips of bark, sliced diagonally, resulting in fewer seams and greater durability compared to baskets with many patches. The wire core of the mouth is also sturdy, ensuring a quality that will last for years. The basket will develop a luster with continued use, becoming even more beautiful. Thank you for viewing. It will be carefully packaged and shipped promptly.
