Native American Papago Basket Bowl Authentic Stitched with Yucca and Devil's claw over Bear Grass 1930/40's;
Authentic Native American Papago basket bowl; stitched with Yucca and devil's claw over bear grass. It measures 6.5 inches across x 2.5” Deep with weaving in good acceptable condition commensurate with age. 1930/40’s. This is from my personal collection. Different tribes used different materials and had distinct basketry traditions, weaving techniques, basket shapes, and characteristic patters. Southeast Indians such as the Cherokee used rivercane wicker and pine needles and Southwest Indians utilized willow wood and sumac and other tribes used swamp grass, spruce root, birchbark and other materials. Northeast Indian tribes utilized braided sweet grass and ash splints. As tribes became displaced, their basket weaving became more diverse adapting to new materials and traditions of new neighbors in their immediate environment. See pictures.
