Double-walled Agaseke Tutsi Basket, Rwanda, Early 20th Century
A covered basket of the agaseke type, attributed to the Tutsi of Rwanda and dating from the early 20th century. Made of finely woven plant fibers, it features a double-walled structure, with a slender cylindrical body and a conical lid tapering to a sharp point. The decoration alternates between dark horizontal bands and diagonal patterns woven into the basketwork. The lightweight, even construction attests to precise basketry craftsmanship. Antique patina with slight warping, wear, and irregularities resulting from use.
