Absolutely beautiful, Akimel O'odham (Pima) flared, whirling geometric coiled basket.

Measures 8 5/8" in diameter x 5 1/4" high.

This basket is coiled, done in a devils claw geometric, whirling design, finished with a stunning herringbone weave. The interior matches the design on the outside. Reminds me of an eagle and very stunning in person.

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, showing beautiful patina. Very stunning in person.

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