PITCAIRN ISLAND
An oval wood basket with handle, shaped rim and the turned outer body with punched dot decoration and punched 'PITCAIRN ISLAND' and with the maker's name 'JOHN CHRISTIAN' 9 x 8¾in. (22.8 x 22.2cm.)
A basket made by one of the Bounty mutineer Fletcher Christian's descendants on Pitcairn Island. This first recorded John Christian was Fletcher Christian's great-grandson, born on Pitcairn in 1843, possibly the maker of the present basket, although the woodworking tradition and manufacture of souvenirs to sell to passing ships continues on the island to this day. The outer body of the present basket is turned in red miro, which grew on Pitcairn and on neighbouring Henderson Island, where the islanders sailed to replenish stocks of timber.
