Descriptions
Object Description
Covered basket. Basket is decorated with a Mohegan tribal symbol (cruciform). This basket cover and base do not seem to match. The dot or spot motif on the basket cover does not match that used on the basket. The basket cover does not fit well on the basket, and the cover is a slightly darker color than the basket.
