This small, intricately woven basket, crafted by the Tohono O'odham people, is a fine example of Native American basketry. The basket is made from natural materials, including yucca and a darker, unidentified material. The geometric, spiral-shaped pattern created by the different materials is both visually striking and indicative of the skilled craftsmanship of the artist. This small basket is a testament to the artistic tradition and cultural heritage of the Tohono O'odham people.
