Navajo Pictorial Basket - Fannie King (#066)

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every purchase.

"Over the years I have noticed that shapes mean a lot to me, and Fannie's baskets always have a great shape; more bowled than most Navajo baskets. The whirlwind symbolism of this piece is also historically important. Finally, the colors are simple and beautiful." -Steve Simpson

Coyote
It should be noted that in the total body of Navajo Mythology Coyote appears not only as a trickster but also as a beneficent figure, particularly at the time of emergence when he takes initiative in establishing the natural phenomena of the world? More about this legend

Basketry
Basketry is a woman's industry, which is also pursued by the nadle (he changes), hermaphrodites, or men skilled in the arts and industries of both men and women. Basketry, however, is not classified with textile fabrics (yistl'o), but with sewing (nalkhad). It is of interest also that, while the basket is in progress, the sewer is untouched and avoided by the members of her family? More about this legend
