B1 Hopi Coil Basket

Flat Kachina Pattern
Price: $850.00
 
Description

Hopi coil basket with Flat Kachina pattern by Marcelena Naseyoma.  The basket measures 7” x 8.5".

Basket weavers on Second Mesa are known for their Hopi coil baskets.  The baskets are woven by wrapping fibrous material around a single piece, usually yucca.  The art of basket making is usually passed from one generation to the next.  These baskets are woven in patterns important to the Hopi: corn, kachinas, animals, and other Hopi patterns.

The Hopi women fabricated flat Kachina basketry plaques as ceremonial gifts.  Archaeologists have found baskets in the Southwest that date back to 6,000 B.C.  These same weaving techniques found then are used by contemporary basketmakers as well.
