Vintage Papago Basket

Description

Vintage hand woven Papago? basket. 9" round, 1 3/4" deep.Natural reedlike fiber which is tan in color. It has reddish and purplish colors woven in to make what seems like a random design. It is made in a spiral fshion. The condition is good- two or three "breaks" in the weave that does not leave holes- just breaks in the materials which I took pictures of.

Most of this style baskets do not demand much value. $20.00 to $50.00 if you had more color and it was a used basket, you could ask a lot more. hope this helps.
