Description
B164 Navajo Basket
Navajo basket with geometric whirl pattern. The coil basket is 13” x 1 3/4”.
All Navajo baskets employ the coil method of weaving using rhus trilobata, more commonly known as three-leaf sumac. The foundation for all designs is the Navajo ceremonial basket which continues to be woven and used in traditional Navajo healing rites. In the late 1960’s, a few Navajo basket weavers experimented with other pictorial elements such as yei’s, eagles and rug patterns..
