Polychrome Apache Basket

Description

Offered here for your consideration is a nice, older polychrome Apache basket which features a dark centrifugal design that resembles sun rays coming from a circular center. This is surrounded by alternating light and dark rectangular spokes that create a whirling pattern. There is also the letter "J" repeated in the designs in a reddish and purple color. The Apache people were known as superior basket makers after learning new techniques from the Yavapai during the late 1800s, which they quickly adopted and adapted. Apache baskets are striking with strong contrast in color and bold geometric or pictorial (less common) motifs. They are on a three rod foundation with wraps of willow and Devil's Claw (for contrast). These baskets are highly sought after and getting harder to find. Consider this one for your collection now!
MAKER: Once known Apache basket weaver.
APPROX AGE: Vintage to Antique.
SIZE: This basket measures 10 1/2 inches across x 3 1/4 inches deep.
CONDITION: Good for its age with normal wear and fading expected. Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description and are hereby incorporated into the description, specifically with regards to condition.
HANDLING: There will be an $8 handling / packaging fee for shipping this lot.
