Coiled baskets are made like coiled pottery. Thin strips of fibers, wood, leaves or grass are wrapped into a bundle which is coiled around in a continuous spiral. Colored with natural dyes, it is a true gift of the Earth. These baskets range in size from 4" to 8". Non Indian made. Baskets of this quality made by an actual Apache, Navajo, or Pima would sell for thousands of dollars. Thankfully, we're able to provide the same styles of basket at a mere fraction of the cost. You will be getting the set of 12 baskets pictured below.
Baskets were first made at least 9,000 years ago - long before pottery was invented. Woven from a variety of plant materials by three basic techniques - plaiting, twining, and coiling - baskets had many uses. Flat trays were used for serving food and for winnowing seeds and parching them with hot coals. Deep baskets covered with resin were made to carry water. Some were woven very tightly for cooking with hot stones. Others were used for storage or carrying burdens. |
