DESCRIPTION |
Small close coiled basketry tray, that is slightly warped. Small solid base circle has eight zigzag lines radiating from it to the rim. Interior surface has a dark brown residue on area of the rim and wall. Rim is plain stitched in alternating very pale brown and grayish brown. Stitches are made of light colored plant material and dark brown Martynia sp.; coils composed of light colored plant rods. According to Tanner the tray is the most common form of basket manufactured by the Akimel O'odham (1983:160). Similar radiating curved arm patterns can be found on Western and Jicarilla Apache, Tohono O'odham, Havasupai, and Hualapai basketry (Tanner 1983 and Whiteford 1988). An Akimel O'odham tray with a very similar design is illustrated in Tanner (1983:158, figure 6.23a). Not all of this basket's materials have been identified, however willow (Salix sp.), cattail, devil's claw (Martynia sp.), and agave are materials used in Akimel O'odham basketry (Cain 1962:28).
