This antique handwoven coiled basket is a striking example of Southwestern Indigenous artistry, likely dating to the late 1800s. Formed in an elegant jar shape, it features a rounded body, narrow neck, and original fitted lid—an uncommon and highly desirable configuration.
Handcrafted from natural fibers, likely yucca root or raffia, it displays a rich palette of maroon, brown, and muted purple tones. The exterior shows gentle age-related fading, while the interior remains notably vibrant. Tight, consistent stitching reflects skilled craftsmanship, with subtle tonal variation highlighting the use of natural dyes.
Both functional and sculptural, the basket was likely used to store valued items in a domestic or ceremonial context. Today, its refined form, patina, and layered coloration make it a compelling decorative piece suited to both traditional and modern interiors.
