Basket c. 1900

This intricately woven basket, created by the Yokuts people around 1900, is a testament to the artistry of Native American basketry. The basket's form is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, with its wide, shallow bowl shape and intricate geometric patterns woven into the surface. The use of natural materials, such as reeds and fibers, is evident in the warm brown and black hues of the basket, showcasing the skill and ingenuity of the Yokuts artisans. This piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, serves as a valuable representation of Native American craftsmanship and cultural traditions.
