Description

1930 Pima Basket
Superb example of early 20th century craftsmanship this Pima coiled basket circa 1930, hails from the indigenous peoples of southern Arizona. It presents a shallow, gracefully flared form, expertly woven from natural fibers likely willow and devil’s claw. Its surface showcases an earthy palette of browns, and natural fiber colors that emphasize the bold geometric patterns radiating from its tightly coiled center. The meticulous construction and elegant simplicity of its design speak to its authenticity and cultural significance within the rich basketry traditions of the region. Condition is good, with no visible loss of weave and a small hole at rim, possibly for hanging display. Dimensions: 16” diameter, 3” tall. A classic piece. See photos.
