Offered here for your consideration is a wonderful antique figural Apache basket. 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) motifs. They are on a three rod foundation with willow and Devil's Claw used for the wraps (for contrast). These baskets are highly sought after and getting harder to find. This basket features a four point star design and the sides of the basket feature a similar design with various geometric figures. Between the points of the star are deer and human figures. This lovely basket would look great in your home or office, so bid now to make it yours!
