  • Item# 0143 Panamint Basket,

    SOLD

    The Great Basin Area of southern Nevada and southeastern California, including Death Valley, is as barren a land as one could imagine. It is almost like another world...yet is the nomadic home of the Panamints and Paiutes. Living under these most austere conditions, they nevertheless have produced outstanding examples of workmanship and design. Panamint weavers are noted for their technical excellence, with some baskets counting sixty wefts to the inch. The basket (bowl) shown here has characteristic flaring walls, and segments of the rim have alternating light and dark rim "ticks". The techniques, materials, forms, and designs of this basket is typical of coiled basketry from the Great Basin culture area.
