The Minneapolis Institute of Art owns some handsome Native American artifacts. My attention was particularly attracted to the woven baskets.
These two are quite practical in appearance and design --
Papago covered basket Pomo gathering basket
The coiled baskets have a simpler but (to my mind) more artistic design --
Apache Pima
None of the others, however, is able to compete with this fine --
Navajo basket (personal favorite)
