Very nice basket in excellent condition. 9.5" diam x 11" high. Coiled on grass foundation, yucca, devil's claw, bear grass. The Tohono O’odham today weave more basketry than any other American Indian tribe. It is estimated that there are 300-400 active weavers today. This number is still a far cry from generations past when essentially all women wove baskets for their families and communities, for tasks that included desert plant gathering to holding ceremonial saguaro wine. Young girls learned basketry arts along with other important life skills through informal instruction from their mothers and other female relatives. City: State: Arizona Date: c. 1900's HWAC# 32011
