so perhaps this portrait portrays a passage from one rank to another

give or take

with one side definitely better than the other

nicely framed with a window to a third on the reverse side--I just think they're terrific sketches

SOLD Golden Locks, Small Braided, Handled Basket Woven of Hair nai9ve sculpture so perhaps this portrait portraysThis 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 (Tohono O'odham and Koasati ((Couchatta)) examples specifically)
