Description
Native American, Western United States, California, Pomo culture, ca. 1920s to 1930s CE. A hand-made basket decorated with dangling beads made from matte white and nacre shells; the body coiled and twined from regional plants - sedge grass, fern root, willow, and/or bracken. The addition of this ornamentation separates this beautiful piece from utilitarian examples. Such baskets were traditionally used in ceremonial contexts or given as special gifts.
