Native American Apache Made Burden Basket
Apache-Made Burden Basket
Bring the artistry of Apache basketry into your home with this substantial, handmade burden basket. Crafted in Arizona, it pairs intricate weaving and bold geometric patterning with pale buckskin trim, long fringe, and tin cone jingles. The contrast of tightly woven texture and flowing fringe gives the piece a sculptural presence, with details that reward a closer look.
At approximately 19 inches in diameter, it makes a striking focal point in an entryway, above a console, or within a thoughtfully collected display of Native American art. Choose a setting with room beneath the basket so its dramatic fringe can hang freely.
