American
Indian baskets are some of the finest and most valuable
in the world. Baskets are perhaps one of the greatest
visual expressions of American Indian culture. Each Indian
tribe has basket weaving styles and designs that are characteristic
to that tribe. Over the years as basket-weaving styles
developed, so did the degree of craftsmanship that is
so clearly exhibited in the American Indian baskets of
the last several decades. The American Indian ability
to visualize the whole basket as they are weaving it and
the patience to bring it to completion, certainly lends
to results of superior craftsmanship.
