Historically, full-sized burden baskets were used for gathering, and the metal "tinklers" at the bottom jingled to scare away wildlife. Today, these miniatures are hung near doors or windows as a symbol of protection, welcome, and good blessings for the home.
Features & Details:
Authentic Elements: Features hand-rolled metal "tinklers" (jingles) made from recycled tin, authentic to traditional crafting methods. You can even see vintage lettering stamped inside some of the metal cones!
Materials: Woven plant fiber basket wrapped in soft, tan suede/buckskin leather fringe.
Measurements: The basket pocket itself is approximately 3" deep. Total length from the rim to the bottom of the fringe is 8".
Condition: Excellent condition. The weave is tight and intact, and the suede is soft with a beautiful, light natural patina from age.
Hangs easily from a single small nail or hook. Clean, smoke-free home.
