"The baskets were once made for every day use in collecting or gathering wild foods, or to cultivate crops like corn. The skills of basket making have been passed down from mother to daughter over many generations. Sadly though, it is a dying art form. The baskets are a symbol of pride for the Apache people, because they are some of the most beautiful types of basketry in the world"

This basket is in excellent condition.
