Over 50 Extraordinary baskets from the Emporium Company, 1900-1921. For Sale - individually or in groups. Amy Cohn's outstanding personal collection by Louisa Keyser (Datsolalee).

Today, Datsolalee baskets are found in private collections, museums, academic and cultural institutions throughout the country, including the Smithsonian.

These extaordinary baskets are the largest single collection remaining together. Now, for the first time, Datsolalee baskets from Amy Cohn's personal collection can be purchased individually or in groups.
