Caption
This small round reed and wood splint basket is characteristic of much of artist Ira Blount’s basketry work—it is natural-colored, woven, and has a God’s Eye design at the handle.
After moving to Washington, DC following World War II, Ira Blount mastered dozens of artisanal crafts. His love for crafting, learning, and community engagement would endure over the course of his long life and career.
