Akimel O'odham (Pima), Geometric Fret Design, Coiled Basket - Early 20th Century

Beautiful, early Akimel O'odham (Pima) coiled basket.

Circa early 20th century and measures 7 1/2" long x 4 3/4" depth and 2 1/2" high.

This basket is coiled, done in a devils claw geometric fret design 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 showing beautiful patina.

A great addition for any Pima or basket collector. Enjoy!
