Large jar shaped storage basket woven in yucca and devil's claw with geometric designs / Unknown

Curatorial Remarks

Commercial basket. It is questionable whether or not the olla shaped baskets were traditionally used by the Western Apache. Rarely will one find an Apache basket with the same design; the women were creative in making uniquely designed baskets.
