Lot 31
Native American, United States, Southwest & Northwestern Coast, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A group of four woven Native American baskets displaying the diverse regional traditions. One example retains its original sale tag identifying it as Modoc-Klamath from the Sprague River area of Oregon, a region shared by the culturally related Modoc and Klamath peoples whose basketry - typically made with twining techniques in tule - is indistinguishable. The smallest and largest baskets in the group are coiled Akimel O'odham (Pima) works, likely crafted from willow, cottonwood, or yucca with contrasting dark motifs produced in devil's claw or dyed willow, their geometric forms characteristic of southern Arizona basketry; the final basket is a Northwestern Coast or Alaskan coiled example with its fitted lid and interior squares of brightly dyed fibers. Size of largest: 8.75" W x 5" H (22.2 cm x 12.7 cm)
Provenance: private southwestern Pennsylvania, USA collection, acquired prior to 2000; ex-collection of Mr. Shields, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, acquired circa 1940 by his brother, who lived in the Northwest Coast region; subsequently inherited by his daughter.
