Authentic Omani Bedouin handwoven palm basket with camel leather base, traditionally used as a milking bowl. From the Arizona State University collection—adding rare and desirable provenance not commonly found on similar pieces.
Unused condition
The basket features tightly coiled weaving with subtle geometric banding and a warm, natural palette. The leather base adds both durability and visual contrast. A small side loop detail is present, typical of functional field use.
Perfect for collectors of ethnographic art, global textiles, or organic modern decor.
