Antique Apache Tray

Yavapai Tray. Willow foundation with willow and devil's claw stitching. A large black circular center with four zig-zag lightning designs creating a whirlwind pattern. Humanoid figures, possibly ganz dancers, and animal figures resembling chickens and possibly goats.

Condition: Good condition. Areas of scattered stitch loss visible mostly on the back of the basket, some quite significant involving a dozen or more stitches on one row (See photographs). One area of white on the back in the center circle, probably paint that has rubbed off from a wall.

Circa: 1910
