False Embroidery: a technique used to decorate twined baskets in which a third, colored weft element is incorporated into the outer wefts. These designs are not visible on the inside of the object. Also, false embroidery slants in the opposite direction as the rest of the twining.

Sorry, this is not the technique used to create the design on your basket. Please look again and make another selection.
