1920's Apache Woven Basket
This authentic Apache basket, dating back to the 1920s, is a remarkable survivor of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The focal point of this piece is the striking six-point star design woven into the center, a classic motif in Western Apache basketry that radiates outward with exceptional symmetry. Notably, there is a small hole in the very center of the star, likely a result of it being hung with a tack for wall display by a previous collector—a common mark of history for pieces of this era.
- Approximately 8 1/4" in Diameter
