Description
Elsie Allen (Native American, Pomo, 1899-1990) Feathered Coiled Basket, ca. 1986 CE. A hand-made basket coiled and twined from regional plants - sedge grass, fern root, willow, and/or bracken- and then covered with white and iridescent orange-red feathers. Allen used both native and non-native birds on her pieces in later years, such as these pheasant feathers. Elsie Allen was a celebrated Californian basket weaver, often accredited with saving and sustaining Pomo basketry weaving tradition. A catalog for an Elsie Allen exhibition by Suzanne Abel-Vidor was published by the Grace Hudson Museum, City of Ukiah, in 1993 and by the Oakland Museum of California in 1996, titled "Remember Your Relations: the Elsie Allen Baskets, Family & Friends." This basket purportedly was purchased from the Allen family during an exhibition. Size: 4.25" Diameter x 2.2" H (10.8 cm x 5.6 cm)
Provenance: private Alamo, California, USA collection, before 2000; ex-Elsie Allen collection, purchased from the Allen family in 1996.
