The Pima tribe (also known as Akimel O’odham), located in central and southern Arizona, are well known for their basketry. At the turn of the century, the baskets served as a vital instrument used for religious ceremonies, carrying, preparing and serving food, washing, collecting, storing, trading, payment, and gifting.

This authentic piece of American Indian art consists of two parts: the warp (or inner coil) is made of beargrass; the weft (or design) is harvested either from the soaptree yucca cactus (green and white), the pod of the devil’s claw (black), or the roots of the banana yucca cactus (red). All the colors occur naturally; no dyes are utilized.
