The Fine Art of California Indian Basketry by Brian Bibby
After a search through private collections and public museums throughout the country, over sixty stunning examples of California Indian basketry were assembled for this book-some almost two hundred years old, some made within the last few decades. Commenting upon each basket are native basket weavers, California Indian artists in other media, and scholars. Together they provide exciting and intimate insights into this world of subtle yet intense beauty.
