Yavapai Apache Basket

Yavapai Apache tray woven of willow and devil's claw. The design of this basket features a mixture of men and coyote tracks. This basket was made using a knife, an awl, and the weaver's skill. This is a particularly finely woven and early piece that exemplifies the early Apache weaving skill for basket weaving. There are few Apache basket makers today.

Circa: 1910
