Did You Know?

This fine bowl was created by a weaver of the Yokuts, who lived in California’s San Joaquin Valley.

Description

This fine bowl was created by a weaver of the Yokuts, who lived in California’s San Joaquin Valley to the west of Koso (Panamint) Shoshone territory. Shared design motifs indicate contact between the two areas. For instance, the humans who appear to be holding hands in one register on this basket also occur on a small Koso (Panamint) Shosone basket in the collection.
A tan, wide-mouthed vessel woven from redbud and bracken fern tapers to a rounded base, its exterior wrapped in finely textured horizontal ridges. Two rows of dark brown figures encircle the bowl. In the upper row, figures raise arms toward tiered horizontal bars between vertical diamonds. Below them, a ring of figures holding hands, detailed with simple lines, surrounds the lower curve.
