Included in this lot we have three Tohono O'odham, "People of the Desert" Native American Hand Woven Mats and Basket, circa 1950's. A Native American people that reside primarily in Arizona and the northern Mexican state of Sonora,
the Tohono O'odham tribal government and most of the people have rejected the historical name Papago since the 1980s; the Papago in Sonora Mexico still call themselves Papago. Between the cradle and the grave, baskets have been produced to serve in all aspects of traditional life. Tohono O’odham baskets were used for carrying, defense, adornment, furniture, culture and fine art, preparation and serving of food, religious ceremonies, war, carrying water, and social life among other things. Due to certain environmental conditions, the Tohono O'odham were surrounded by harsh, dry vegetation with an abundance of martynia, "Devil's Claw". Most often a Papago Indian basket would be woven with dark Devil's Claw and a willow design. Techniques to create their baskets include lattice and plain wrapped weaving, coarse, fine, and crude foundation coiling, lace coiling, and plaiting. bowl baskets have a globular shape, and their width exceeds their height. Largest mat measures 9.5" diameter and has a "handle" for wall hanging. Smaller mat/bowl is 8.75" diameter. Basket is 5.5" diameter x 3"H, base is 4.25" diameter, collective weight is 12oz.
