The form is compact and symmetrical, with a radiating geometric pattern that builds from the center outward in a controlled spiral.

The contrast between the warm natural fibers and the darker design elements produces a bold, graphic surface characteristic of regional basketry traditions of the American Southwest. With an approximate stitch count of eleven per inch, the weave reflects a functional, utility-grade construction typical of mid-century production.

Baskets of this type were created for both domestic use and regional trade, and today are valued for their organic materiality and sculptural presence.
