Exhibition History

Blankets and Baskets

July 2 - October 10, 2004

This basket is unusual for two reasons: it is more finely woven than the usual Yokuts basket, having 26 stitches and 12 rows per inch, and it has more pattern variation than is normal. The rattlesnake motif in the top band, however, is a typical design of this culture.
