- Lot Description
North America, Southwest, Papago (Tohono O'odham), ca. 19th century CE. A sizeable basket, beautifully woven from native plant fibers over a willow rod construction in accordance with tradition, and presenting a central five-petal flower motif surrounded by two bands of an angular meander motif on the side walls, with crosses atop the lower band. The red hued fibers are most likely yucca root, and the basket is beautifully laced in devil's claw. Apache trays have traditionally been created by women in flat, curved, and bowl forms like this example. Those with pictorial elements are coveted, and the coloration oxidizes over time to warm hues as we see in this example. Apache trays were originally created for winnowing grain or storing food. Size: 11.375" W x 3" H (28.9 cm x 7.6 cm)
The Apache have a longstanding basketry tradition, and basket making is among the most celebrated art forms in their culture. They have created many types of baskets, including trays, ollas, bowls and burden baskets, and have used these in virtually every aspect of daily life. Being nomadic hunters and gatherers, baskets were treasured for carrying firewood as well as roots and berries.
