This diverse lot of Southwestern and Native American folk art includes approximately 8 pieces: a large oval coiled grass tray basket (approximately 16 inches across) with a subtle spiral center design in natural tan and brown tones; a smaller round coiled pine needle bowl basket with a radiating star pattern in natural straw tones; a lidded coiled basket with decorative colored accents in green, purple, and natural tones; an oval coiled tray with red accent trim; a small red clay pottery vessel decorated with black and white Southwestern geometric and figural motifs consistent with Pueblo or Mata Ortiz style; a turquoise-wrapped dream catcher keychain with feather accent and original tag; a Cuzco branded tooled leather coin purse with zippered closure and scenic mountain landscape design; and additional basket pieces visible in the grouping. The baskets represent multiple weaving traditions including coiled grass, pine needle, and plaited reed techniques common to Native American and Southwest folk craft traditions. The Cuzco leather coin purse references the historic Peruvian city and features hand-tooled scenic artwork. Condition is overall Good to Very Good; the baskets show honest age-related patina, minor fraying at edges on some pieces, and natural color variation; the pottery vessel appears intact with no visible chips; the dream catcher is intact with feather; the leather coin purse shows light wear to the finish.
