Constructed using tightly coiled weaving, it displays a shallow bowl form with carefully balanced spiral construction and understated geometric decoration. Baskets of this type were valued for both domestic use and social prestige within Tswana communities.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1005\" data-end=\"1397\"\u003eThe basket has been woven entirely by hand using natural plant fibres, demonstrating the high level of technical skill associated with Southern African basketry. It remains in very good collector's condition with honest age-related wear and an attractive natural patina. Well-preserved examples are increasingly sought after by collectors of African ethnographic art and traditional basketry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS\u003cstrong\u003eKU: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eEG TBC 01\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1399\" data-end=\"1409\"\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1412\"\u003ec.1930–1955\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1534\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1425\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003eEgon Guenther Collection, by family descent to the Thomas Guenther Collection, Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1536\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1556\"\u003e22.7 × 22.7 × 8.8 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1597\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1578\" data-end=\"1589\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1592\"\u003e123 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esteemed Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54413269926229,"sku":"EG TBC 01","price":135.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/2353\/1861\/files\/southern-tswana-handwoven-coiled-fibre-basket-bowl-natural-fibre-c1930-1955.1930_1955.jpg?v=1784564156","url":"https:\/\/esteemedantiques.com\/products\/handwoven-prestige-basket-attributed-to-the-southern-tswana-botswana-south-africa-natural-fibre-c-1930-1955","provider":"Esteemed Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
