Large bowl is 17.5" diam x 6.5" high. Woven of willow, devil's claw and grass. Very good condition, some dirt on bottom. Lightning whirl design. The Pima (Akimel O'odham) Indians first called themselves Othama until the first account of interaction with non-Native Americans was recorded. Spanish missionaries referred to Pima villages of Kina, Equituni and Uturituc. Americans later corrupted the miscommunication into Pimos, which was adapted to Pima river people. The Akimel O'odham were experts in producing intricate baskets. City: State: Arizona Date: c. 1900's HWAC# 32006
