Antique Apache Basket With Geometric And Whirling Designs

Offered here for your consideration is an antique Apache basket with geometric and whirling designs. This fine basket displays sophisticated design from its dark central circle to rows of geometric and whirling designs. A truly eye catching style that would enhance any collection or as a decor item for your home or office. The Apache people were known as superior basket makers after learning new techniques from the Yavapai during the late 1800s which they quickly adopted and adapted. Apache baskets are striking with strong contrast in color and bold geometric or pictorial (less common) motif. Being on a three rod foundation makes the baskets tight, stiff and sturdy with no bend to them and yields rounded well defined coils that stand out. They use materials native to their region such as willow and Devil's Claw. These baskets are highly sought after and getting harder to find. Consider this one for your collection and get it today!
