fleafinder,
I love this! What a great looking basket and very well painted!
That's a super basket!
Great find! I love your barrel stool too :-))
Ah Gu Basket. Or betrothal basket. Made of wood and/or bamboo, baskets like this were stuffed with homemade treats for the wedding party. Each was hand painted with a unique design. There are pre-wedding baskets and wedding baskets. It's a whole thing!
