SMALL LACED EDGE MAT BY AN ARTIST ONCE KNOW (TOHONO O'ODHAM)
Tohono O'odham baskets are hand crafted of beargrass, yucca (white or green) and devils claw (black). The technique used is known as coiling. Split stitch baskets are made of beargrass and sewn with yucca in such a manner that the coil is exposed to form part of the pattern.
The Tohono O'odham, which means "Desert People", were formerly known as the Papago by the Spanish and are descendants of the Hohokam culture, which flourished between 200- 1450 AD in what is now southern and central Arizona. They originated the use of horsehair in making miniature baskets sometime in the 1960's.
Measurements: 4 5/8" long x 4 1/4" wide
