Wonderful Antique Apache Basket

Description: Offered for your consideration is a wonderful antique Apache Basket which is very finely woven. This is a larger basket with numerous geometric patterns woven using natural willow and devil's claw. The Apache people were known as superior basket makers after learning new techniques from the Yavapai during the late 1800s which they quickly adopted and adapted. Apache baskets are striking with strong contrast in color and bold geometric or pictorial (less common) motif. Being on a three rod foundation makes the baskets tight, stiff and sturdy with no bend to them, and yields rounded well-defined coils that stand out. They use materials native to their region such as willow and devil's claw. These baskets are highly sought after and getting harder to find and this one is a FINE example. Consider adding this basket to your collection today! MAKER: Unknown Apache basket weaver. APPROX AGE: Antique (meaning made prior to the 1930s).
