Basket c. early 20th century

This Apache basket, created by the artist Indé in the early 20th century, is a stunning example of Native American craftsmanship. The basket is made of woven reeds and features a checkerboard pattern in black and natural tones. The basket's shape is unique, with two rounded compartments, highlighting the artist's skill and ingenuity. The basket's small size, measuring just over 3 inches in height, suggests it may have been used for personal items, reflecting the intricate and beautiful details often found in traditional Apache basketry. The basket is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where it serves as a testament to the enduring artistic traditions of the Apache people.
