Basket c. early 20th century

This Apache basket, created in the early 20th century, is a stunning example of traditional Native American craftsmanship. The basket's form is a simple, yet elegant, rounded shape with a wide mouth. The intricate pattern of black and white woven reeds creates a visually appealing design that is both functional and decorative. This basket, a testament to the skill and artistry of the Apache people, is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Native American basketry, such as this, has long been appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
