Vintage Havasupai Indian Basket Tray
This Vintage Havasupai Indian Basket Tray is a rare treat and was handmade by Irene Walema. It won First Prize in the 1971 Inter-Tribal Ceremonial Show in Gallup. We're not sure if this is the weavers own design or she may have borrowed images from the Hopi or Navajo. It is tightly woven and in very good condition. It has a lovely aged patina and is almost 12" wide and is circa 1960's. An enduring tribute to skilled hands and a talented heart, this Vintage Havasupai Indian Basket Tray is one of a kind!
Both Irene (?-1973) and her husband Gus (?-1971) lived in Mohave County all of their lives. Gus was interviewed for an April 1933, Grand Canyon National Park article and he talked about the patterns and materials used by the women basket makers. Both original and copied patterns were used, and he stated that they had no religious or other significance and they also used devil's claw, willow and cottonwood.
