Description: Offered here for your consideration is an antique Apache polychrome basket woven with contrasting colors of light red, dark brown and tan from the 3 different materials used (yucca root, devil's claw and willow). This 3 rod foundation basket likely came from the White Mountain Apaches as this is where this type of polychrome baskets normally originated. 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. These baskets are highly sought after and getting harder to find. Add this fine basket to your collection today! MAKER: Unknown Apache basket maker. APPROX AGE: Antique (meaning made prior to the 1930s). SIZE: This basket measures approximately 18 inches across x 3 1/2 inches deep. CONDITION: Good for its age, normal wear and fading expected.
