About the Item

Native American Klamath basket. This is a soft and pliable basket with triple triangle motif woven in tule and dyed tule in characteristic overlay weave. There is some loss around the rim edge and a slightly irregular shape on one side. Otherwise in mint condition. The Klamath territory sits on the boarder of California and Oregon, centred around Klamath lake and Klamath river, extending north along the Williamson river to the Klamath marsh and Crater lake. The Klamath basketry is always twined and made in two styles: soft and pliable, or stiff and rigid. Rigid baskets were made of willow warps with split juniper root, split willow, or tule wefts.
