This is an exceptional fine condition circa 1880-1890’s Apache Native American Indian woven coiled olla basket. The piece shows a very fine tight coiled weave constructed of woven willow and devil’s claw material in a fantastic angular meander motif geometric pattern in mineral dyed black and natural brown. The olla shows a typical body and lipped edge with black pattern. The angular meander motif is shown in pairs four times around the basket. Apache baskets from the 19th Century of this quality and well-preserved condition are significant and valuable with this truly being a fine example. This basket measures 8 1/2" in diameter by 7 1/2" tall.
