This C. 1800 Antique Pomo woven beautiful basket with lid is an exceptional example of this art form by the Pomo people. Clean and nicely sized in a classic weave from the northern area of California (north of San Francisco). Includes a current appraisal by Art Fortune's Elena Von Kohn at $3,400.

Crafted by hand using traditional weaving techniques, it features intricate patterns and natural materials. A stunning example of indigenous artistry, this basket is a valuable artifact of Native American heritage. Includes a lid with handle that is very unique to be with this outstanding piece.

A basket of this style and class will work in every décor. Can see it just as easily gracing a country style home as contemporary for a textural art piece. Use in a traditional style den or use in a coastal home to store yarn.

According to Pomo legend, the earth was dark until their hero stole the sun and brought it to the earth in a basket. He hangs the basket each day, moving its position because he cannot decide which light he likes.
