Ethnographic Papago Basket

This striking Papago-style ethnographic basket exemplifies late 19th-century Native American craftsmanship. Measuring 12½ inches in diameter and 3½ inches tall, the piece features distinctive leather banding along both the rim and base—a hallmark of its era. Museum provenance documentation notes the addition of white institutional paint on the rim leather, a testament to its historical significance and careful preservation. A refined addition to any collection of authentic indigenous artistry.
