Description: This Western Apache style olla basket is a beautiful piece of artistry that showcases a Western Apache theme. Handmade with willow bundles and adorned with anthropomorphic and zoomorphic pictorial designs, this basket is a true treasure for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The Western Apache have long been admired for their craftsmanship and beauty. The Apache had been somewhat nomadic and relied on hunting and gathering as a means of survival. Basketry was a convenient craft for gathering nuts, roots and other food sources. This basket measures 18 inches in height and diameter, and with 2 coils per linear inch and 7 stitches per linear inch and a herringbone rim at the top, this basket is likely made by someone other than Apache. It is a well done and is both functional and a beautiful display piece.
