Tlingit Basket

This basket was part of an undergraduate course at the University of Delaware in treating organic objects.

A full treatment report was drawn up, and I cleaned the objects with HEPA vacuum and brush.

This project was cut short due to covid, and I was given a non-collections object to take home and practice basket repair techniques.
