White Mountain Apache Burden Basket
A beautiful expression of Apache craftsmanship and cultural heritage, this White Mountain Apache burden basket exemplifies the artistry and symbolism of the Southwestern tribes. Traditionally used by Apache women to gather and carry food, firewood, and other daily necessities, these baskets hold deep spiritual significance—representing both sustenance and connection to the land.
This example features handwoven willow construction with a conical form, adorned with tanned hide fringe and tin cone jingles that would sound softly in motion. The surface bears a warm, natural patina that speaks to its age and use, while the craftsmanship reflects generations of basketry tradition passed through families and communities.
Each curve and subtle marking tells a story of the maker’s hand. No two piece alike on found items. All dimensions approximate.
