Bowl is 16" diam x 2.25" deep. Coiled on 3-rod foundation. Excellent condition. Apache Trays can range from flat, to slightly curved to almost bowl shaped. Apache trays with pictorial elements (dogs, horses, and or people) are the most valuable. If the elements are done in a third color, red, generally a deeper red made from yucca root, the baskets can be extremely valuable. These are called polychrome Apache baskets and they bring a premium. Almost all old apache baskets main coloration will be a yellow foundation. More modern Apache Baskets are made out of traditional materials, but the willow stitch is a whitish colorationApache trays were originally made for winnowing grain or for food usage. After the railroads arrived and the Apaches were placed in permanent reservations, the needs of the Apache people changed and trays were then made for the tourist trade. Inexpensive metal trays and bowls could now be purchased at the trading post and the Apaches sold their own baskets for money or trade. City: State: Arizona Date: c.1910 HWAC# 32000
