Antique Pima or Papago Native American Whirling Logs Basket Hard Firm For Sale

Antique Southwest Native American Indian Geometric Design Basket. This is 4 1/2\" tall and 11\" in diameter. This is Hard and Firm! VERY NICE! Will let buyer determine origin of weaver. While this appears to be a Pima (Akimel O\'odham) basket bowl, it shares deep similarities with older Papago (Tohono O\'odham) basketry. The two neighboring Southwest tribes traditionally used nearly identical materials and weaving styles, making distinction difficult without documented provenance.Visual Attribution Clues

• The Design: It features a traditional Hohokam fret or \"whirling log\" maze motif radiating outward from a solid dark center disk. This geometric precision and tight interlocking layout are hallmarks of historic Pima weaving.
• Materials: The golden-tan background is woven from willow, while the dark brown decorative patterns are made using devil\'s claw (martynia).
• Weaving Foundation: The smooth, finely ribbed texture indicates a tight coiled construction typically built over a grass bundle or three-rod foundation. Pima weavers are celebrated for executing incredibly thin, dense coils compared to the slightly thicker yucca coils commonly favored in later Papago pieces.
