In our research we came across this information about this kind of basket from The Furniture Man: “Handwoven ribbed baskets, are also known as the melon basket, buttocks basket, fanny basket, peanut basket, gizzard basket, bow basket, egg basket and many other regional names. This is the basket with the familiar ""ojo de Dios"" or God's eye wrapped pattern on each end of the basket where the handle meets the rim. Wherever you travel in North America, you'll more than likely see these ribbed buttocks egg baskets. Although now found world-wide, hand woven ribbed baskets originated in Europe and were very common in Great Britain. Since many settlers in North America came from the British Isles, ribbed baskets traveled across the Atlantic, appearing logically in the Eastern colonies. As the settlers headed into the mid-Atlantic, through Pennsylvania, down the Appalachians, across the Cumberland Gap, across Kentucky, and Tennessee, into the Ozarks and beyond to Oklahoma - so did the ribbed or buttocks egg basket. Not necessarily in that order. At the same time, settlers carried this style north into Maine and Canada. So it came to be that Native Americans also wove this particular style - as they were influenced by the baskets entering their territories.” PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS BEFORE YOU BUY.
