Coiled Fibre Basket - Apache?
For sale is a coiled fibre basket. Very tightly woven basket; lid fits very snugly and has a hole in center, (perhaps to hold cord or yarn inside?). The book on Native Am. baskets, pg. 55 by S. Turnbaugh shows a similar basket. The book lists that basket as Apache, (Southwestern). Interior of this basket has a geometric design, same colors as the book shows. This basket is in good condition and stands a bit over 6.5 tall x 5 wide. It is very attractive and well made and would look great in a Mission style room, or country, or western theme. The patina on this basket is a bit darker than the pictures are showing it.
