This is a very neat and unique planter. In every other 'strip' (if you will) of the front of the planter, there is horse hair. I'm unsure what material was used as an adhesive, but you can see it well in photos mixed with the hair. The other 'strips' appear to be a ratten and bark like wicker weave. There is discoloration and surface wear, and it will need to be cleaned and freshened up per buyer's discretion. The overall solid structure is nice. Has a very primal, Native American vibe. Would make a great display/decor piece in a house. Haunted house, movie prop idea? Please see pictures for your own visual opinion of the item. Shipped fast and well packed in as pictured condition.
