About this artwork
This fine bowl was created by a weaver of the Yokuts, who lived in California’s San Joaquin Valley to the west of Koso (Panamint) Shoshone territory. Shared design motifs indicate contact between the two areas. For instance, the humans who appear to be holding hands in one register on this basket also occur on a small Koso (Panamint) Shosone basket in the collection.
