This intricately woven basket, crafted by the Yokuts people around 1900, is a testament to the artistry and skill of Native American basket makers. The basket's rounded form and geometric patterns, created with various shades of brown and tan, are visually striking. The use of natural materials and the intricate weaving technique demonstrate the deep connection between the Yokuts people and their environment. This particular example of Yokuts basketry is on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
