Label TextThe Apache wove large baskets for storage of food stuffs as well as for tourists who admired their basketry skills. The height of the basket is emphasized by the stepped lines that move diagonally across the surface, while human and animal figures woven in black devil’s claw and red yucca root further detail the design.Exhibition History"Art Des Indiens D'Amerique Du Nord Dans La Collection D'Eugene Thaw," Mona Bismarck Foundation, Paris, France, Somogy Editions D'Art, January 21, 2000 - March 18, 2000.
