Basket c. 20th century

This Apache basket, woven from natural materials, exhibits the traditional skill and artistry of the Indigenous peoples of the American Southwest. The circular shape and intricate geometric design, highlighted by the black dye, suggest a focus on symmetry and balance. It exemplifies a long-standing tradition of basket weaving within Apache culture, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. The basket, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Apache people.
