Antique Apache Figural Basket with Dogs, Tracks and Stars

Offered here for your consideration is an antique Apache figural theme basket with dogs, tracks and stars woven into the patterns.
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. This is a really nice example of an antique Apache basket and these are highly sought after and getting harder to find all the time. Consider this one for your collection now!
