Antique Native American Indian Basket Woven Bottle Early 1900's Washoe Nevada

  
This is a Native American basket-woven bottle, likely from the late 1800s to early 20th century. Measures: 10" tall x 4 wide x approximately 3/4 " top opening. Collection tag on bottom says: collected in Washoe Nevada. Handmade, this unique piece of cultural history is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of Native American tribes. The intricate design and skillful construction make this basket a valuable collectible item for those interested in Native American culture and artifacts from the early 20th century. Great condition---just some minor cross weave on neck missing--but no big deal to the overall appearnce and presentation or display. Great old antique bottle underneath.

The basketry is woven over a glass bottle, a form of acculturation and adaptation of Native American art. It features polychrome banded designs in natural and dyed vegetal fibers. So either Washoe tribe or Paiute or Shoshone.
