Antique / Vintage Hopi Coiled Polychrome Basket C. 1920s To 1940s

Old Hopi Polychrome Coil Basket - 1920s - 1940s. This basket is nicely woven - a tight, even weave without damage. The first photo shows the front.

The second one shows the back. The basket's design shows a striking star pattern in red, yellow and black on the creamy willow background. It is in super condition but obviously old, with mellow colors (strong but not bright). See photos for details of design and condition. There's a loop for hanging.

The basket is about 11 inches in diameter. The wicker basket had a Museum of Northern Arizona tag with the date of 1936. This is of similar vintage. Please check out the other two Hopi baskets I've listed.

I'm of an age where I've got to start thinking about where my collections of baskets, kachinas, rugs, Zuni fetishes, pottery and other Native American art will go. Feel free to contact me with questions or for additional photos.
