    Old and antique lidded leather trimmed basket from West Africa. Missionary collected in the 1950's.   Lid of basket is attached with a leather strip.  Nice patina from handling. Interesting painted black triangular design around rim of basket. Basket is intact, but shows lots of tribal use and wear.
