For your consideration is a collection of Tarahumana and Papago Indian hand-woven baskets. The baskets consist of two Tarahumana baskets with larger base and smaller necks, six graduated baskets, and three Papago Indian baskets. The Papago Tohono O'odham (People of the Desert) are located in Arizona and are known for their weaving skills. The baskets show a lovely, finely woven design. The condition of these baskets is good, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of the largest basket are 8" in diameter by 3" tall, with the smallest measuring 1 1/4" diameter by 1" tall. The Tarahumana baskets are 5" x 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" and 5 1/4" x 4 1/2" x 4 1/2".
