Navajo Rain Cross

My latest woven basket illusion, a ceremonial basket design that I call Navajo Rain Cross.  The cross symbol can also be found on Navajo rugs and pottery and is often used to represent Spider Woman, the first Navajo deity. The basket is twelve inches in diameter and the wood is maple. Beading, pyrography and ink were used to create the basket illusion.

 

It was donated to the SWAT 2019 Symposium and selected as an auction item.

    Without the explanation, I would have thought it was woven and beaded.  After reading the explanation, I realize the hours of tedious work and skill to make this bowl have the appearance of weaving and beads.  This is overwhelming work of art and talent.
