Both her grandmother, Mary Dobson and her mother, Nancy Bradley were accomplished at making baskets. Bradley is often cited as one of only a handful of Cherokee basket weavers who carried on the complex double weave technique in the 1930s and 1940s. Her baskets won numerous awards at the annual Cherokee Indian Fairs and an exhibition of her work was held at Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual in Cherokee, North Carolina, in 1974.” (https://www.wcu.edu/library/digitalcollections/cherokeetraditions/people/Baskets_RowenaBradley.html) To bid with us directly, please visit Ziebarths.com (18% buyers premium).
