Antique Apache coiled basket with men, horses, cross motif, ca 1900?
You are viewing a basket that came into our family in the late 1940s.
It was given to my parents by their friends who went traveling in the
Western states every summer. I inherited in from my mother's estate
about ten years ago. She told me was told it was an antique Apache
Native American basket made about the turn of the 20th century. It
measure about 11.5" across and about 2.5" deep. It is nicely shaped and
has a gentle shallow curve. The circumference is approx 37" around the
edge at the top. It is a coiled basket with figures of standing men,
crosses, and animals (horses?) woven into the design. For its age it is
in good condition, there are a few places where the stitching is missing
and also places where the color has aged a little unevenly. It is solid
and firm, not flexible. If you know more about this basket would
appreciate any additional information. This is a final sale.
