<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 1132595, member: 8267&quot;]They look to be Tohono O&#039;odham (Papago), but some nice old styles that you don&#039;t see as often. Very nice condition as well. They are traditionally made of a bear grass bundle as the foundation of the coil, stitched with yucca, and devil&#039;s claw for the dark design elements.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one with the dog (horse?) figures and the solid brown rim might be Pima, but it is difficult to tell. The Tohono O&#039;odham and Pima live in the same area of the southwest, and made quite similar baskets. But the Pima baskets tend to be a bit more delicate in appearance, with finer stitches. I can&#039;t get a good feel for the scale from the photograph.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Tohono O&#039;odham have been prolific basket makers, the great majority done for sale to tourists and collectors. As such, they do not command the prices that some other types of Native American baskets do. However, you have inherited a nice collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
