Basket

Handwoven basket with geometric patterns

Contemporary Purepecha artist Abe Sanchez created this basket using plant materials traditionally employed by the Tongva, including sumac, deer grass, and juncus, which were dyed with acorn tannins. Various Southern California traditions inspired the design of the basket.
