Included in this lot are Four (4) Native American baskets including Apache and Papago: one (1) Tohono O'odham hand woven polychrome tray plaque with devil's claw and yucca; one (1) Tohono O'odham hand woven basket with yucca and beargrass. Coiled weaving is the most commonly used method by traditional Ak-Chin O’odham basket weavers. One (1) small Apache coiled willow rod and grass basket, and one (1) polychrome flat tray basket, weaver unknown. Baskets were an efficient tool for collecting and carrying food. They are made from all-natural fibers, including devil's claw, willow and yucca root, and an artist constructs them by wrapping fibers around a central core of plant fiber. These baskets are in very nice condition, exhibiting intricate designs and beautiful artistic workmanship. Consistent sturdy construction noted throughout. No marring observed. Largest basket measures 9.5"W diameter x 2.25"H, smallest is 3.25"W diameter x 1.25"H.
