Offered here for your consideration is a polychrome Apache basket. Searching for an amazing and unusual basket? Your search is over. This polychrome basket features intricately woven designs in brown, tan and red, forming nice geometric patterns all throughout! The polychromatic scheme makes this a rare Apache artifact. The Apache people were known as superior basket makers after learning new techniques from the Yavapai during the late 1800s which they quickly adopted and adapted. Apache baskets are striking with strong contrast in color and bold geometric or pictorial (less common) motif. Being on a three rod foundation makes the baskets tight, stiff and sturdy with no bend to them, and yields rounded well-defined coils that stand out. They use materials native to their region such as willow and devil's claw. These baskets are highly sought after and getting harder to find. Bid now to make this eye catching basket yours!
