Label TextHopi coiled baskets are woven by wrapping bundles of plant material with a single piece of plant material usually yucca. The Katchina figure the Butterfly Maiden may be the figure depicted in this basket. She is known as a dancer or nature spirit as she heralds the season of regeneration and warm breezes from the south.ProvenanceClaire Zeisler, Chicago, Illinois; Morning Star Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico
