Northern California Native American Coil Basket Tray Bowl Yokut Maidu Hupa Karuk
Item History & Price
Here is a gorgeous tightly woven basket with a flat bottom and angled sides. It measures 8-1/2 inches wide, 2-3/4 inches tall, and has a 4-1/2 inch diameter bottom. There is a small crack in the rim, as pictured. It is otherwise in very good condition. The weave is incredibly tight. The basket is rigid, not floppy or bendy at all. Mountainous ...steps are woven in to encircle the basket. I would call this a tray or bowl. I believe it is made in the coil technique, and that it is from Northern California. The weave is precise, even and perfect, which is indicative of baskets made by the Maidu people. I am not a collector or expert in American aboriginal art and am only passing on what I learned from researching. Please review the photos for a complete description.
