B1173 - Hopi Wicker Basket

This is a Hopi Wicker basket by an unknown weaver. This basket is fairly unusual, it features a simple butterfly design (putting a design into any basket is a daunting task that weavers only achieve over time). This basket is made very well for one that is dated CA 1940, predating the time period for commercial dyes (only for hopi basketry). All the colors in this basket are vegetal dyed (yellow, orange-yellow, purple, green, black). The colorations can be determined by looking at a Navajo dye chart as both tribes used the same plants to dye their materials. Made in the USA. This perfectly shaped basket measures 10 1/2" diameter
