1940s Taxidermy Armadillo Shell Folk Art Basket Purse Handbag RARE. Offered is a unique vintage/antique armadillo shell basket/bowl, a striking piece in great condition. The unlined shell features a flat bottom, ensuring stability without rolling. The handle, crafted from the tail wire wrapped to the head plating, adds to its charm.
While the basket can be held by the tail, its age suggests gentle use and care. It functions beautifully as a decorative piece, though its original purpose remains intact. Dating back to the 1930s or 1940s, this armadillo shell basket is larger than most, measuring 12" long, 9.5" tall, and 7" wide. A rare find that adds a touch of history and artistry to any collection.
