Absolutely beautiful, Akimel O'odham (Pima) coiled basket.
Measures 5 1/2" high x 7 1/4" in diameter and 7 1/8" at the widest point.
This basket is coiled, done in a devils claw pictorial design having 3 horses & 3 riders and finished with a stunning herringbone weave. The interior matches the design on the outside.
The Akimel O'odham (Pima or River people)tribe are out of Arizona and were basket makers through the late 19th Century. They used devil's claw for their designs, local grass or cattail for the ground and ended with a gorgeous herringbone weave. (Information credited to Wikipedia).
It is in wonderful condition for the period and is just stunning.
A great addition for any Pima or basket collector. Enjoy!
