Jicarilla Apache lidded storage/waste basket (handle broken) with geometric designs. Originally dyed willow (see inside) as was faded at a later date. Est/ 1920s, outside was painted to match original. Historic and functional. The Apache have a longstanding basketry tradition, and basket making is among the most celebrated art forms in their culture. Those with pictorial elements are coveted, and the coloration oxidizes over time to warm hues as we see in this example.Being nomadic hunters and gatherers, baskets were treasured for carrying firewood as well as roots and berries.
