Hooper Bay baskets are recognized for their intricate construction, tightly fitted knob-top lids, and distinctive urn-like profiles. This finely made example by Emma Martha carries these hallmarks with clarity. Around its centre, a procession of purple ducks creates a lively focal band, while triangles of green and red form patterned borders that frame the top and bottom with colour.
