Star Pattern Hopi Coil Basket Plaque from the 1950's.  Yellow, Grey and Straw in all natural colors with native-gathered plants used to weave the graceful star in star design.

 

5" in diameter

A tradition that goes back thousands of years, these baskets are made less and less as time goes one.  Great laying flat on table tops or leaning up against the wall, perhaps atop a large mirror.  This basket is practical and a great work of tribal art.

Ruby uses this to neatly keep her American Indian Hair Comb collection.  Always a fan of hair ornamentation, Ruby needs a nice place for her barrettes, combs and other hair jewelry.  Silver, Turquoise or Lapis Lazuli she always has options for her do.
