Auth.Native American Indian Papago (Tohono O'odham) Yucca Basket w/Lid, 70's

Description

Lovely Papago Yucca/ Bear grass Basket with matching lid created in the 1970's.  Has a nice patina and is in mint condition.  From my personal collection.  The basket has been created using stripped Yucca.
Each piece is a one of a kind piece of art.  Complete with a woven yucca handle at the top.
Measures approximately 3  1/8" tall.  Measures 19  1/4" in circumference (All around the widest part of the basket).  The opening measures approximately 3  5/8" across.  Tightly woven.  Mint condition with no breakage in the weaving.  The gathering of the yucca, the stripping of the yucca to the correct size and the weaving is a very slow process and takes much skill.                      We have been dealing in Native American Indian Arts & Crafts for 30 years.
