About The Artwork
How often do you witness a basket of this magnitude! In perfect condition, its value would have exceeded $1,000. A basket conservator in New Mexico could assist this basket's condition.
About The Artist
Tohono O'odham basket makers are among the finest in Native America. All materials are natural, as are all the colors - no dyes are ever used. Preparing the materials and forming the baskets is a very labor-intensive process. The basketry created by this tribe is best described by Terry De Wald in his book The Papago Indians and Their Basketry. Mr. De Wald has been a trader specializing in their basketry for more than 25 years.
