Gourd Basket


This peculiar gourd basket is possibly from the West Indies. Written upon it is the name of a masonic lodge, along with masonic emblems.

It is inscribed: "W. Crossman 1834 Born Dec 5th 1782"

Mellors and Kirk in Nottingham is selling it on September 24 where it is expected to make £150.
