-Wineglass- coiled jar Date Unknown

This coiled basket, known as a "wineglass" jar, is a testament to the skill and artistry of anonymous Native American basket weavers. Crafted from natural materials, the basket features a distinctive, coiled construction and a striking geometric design of black and natural-colored bands. The wide, rounded body and raised base create a shape reminiscent of a wineglass, reflecting the practical and aesthetic considerations of its creators. This piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the rich tradition of Native American basketry.
