- Lot Description
North America, Southeastern United States, ca. late 20th century CE. This is a fine trio of 3 hand-woven baskets and trays made of raffia and pine needles that demonstrate traditional forms of weaving. The first is a tall vessel utilizing a coiling technique to create layers of twisted needle bundles held together with wrapped and stitched raffia. The basket with the handle incorporates a wood panel as the base, pierced along the periphery to attach the raffia cords and needle coils. The largest oval tray is also woven from pine needles with openwork discs, and star shapes in the lip and base. Pine needle weaving is a traditional Native American method that became popular in the 1960s amongst other people who were inspired by the traditional form. Needle coiling has largely declined due to the painstaking process - a small basket like the one here can take up to 20 hours to complete! Size of largest: 8.5" L x 12.5" H (21.6 cm x 31.8 cm); (basket with handle): 6.35" L x 3.5" W x 3.5" H (16.1 cm x 8.9 cm x 8.9 cm)
Provenance: private Littleton, Colorado, USA collection, between 1959 to 1962
