Large Fully imbricated Klickitat Huckleberry Basket

This is a wonderful old fully imbricated Klickitat polychrome basket with a classic Klickitat design built around three large "V's". The three upper open areas have a stepped triangle and several elongated diamonds and the lower open areas have a single stepped triangle. The basket has a small base with a good cone shape. A few of the "ears" on the basket are bent inward which makes me think the basket had been stored in a cramped trunk with several other pieces. The basket is a handsome old Klickitat basket.
