Native American
basketry is one of the earliest art forms. Once made only as utilitarian pieces
for storage, holding water and even cooking, basketry is an ancient
craft of the Native people. Today basket making has developed
into a fine art few Native Americans continue to practice. Where
baskets were once a common item among all tribes, the art has
now disappeared among many Native Americans, and the handful
of weavers that continue this ancient craft are few and far between.
Hopi basket weavers are considered some of the best in North
America. We are always delighted to see new baskets coming into
the gallery. Don't underestimate the value of adding a piece
of this important cultural heritage to your collection.
