This armadillo basket is made from a real armadillo shell, with the banded, scaled carapace curving up to form the sides of the basket. The tail arches over the top and joins the head to create a natural handle, and the tan and brown armor carries its own markings. It's a genuine folk-art curio — a decorative basket rather than an everyday one — that suits a shelf, mantel, or cabinet display. Set it among Southwestern or vintage decor, or use it to hold light odds and ends. A real armadillo-shell basket like this is an unusual collectible piece.
