Hopi Miniature Baskets
Hopi Miniature Baskets
Monograph · 42 pages
A 1969 monograph on miniature coiled baskets woven by Hopi women of Second Mesa (Shongopovi), made for traders Byron Hunter and Byron Harvey in 1963-1969. It describes Hopi basket types, coil construction with yucca over a wild grass foundation, overlay stitches, stitch counts and materials. Most of the book is a series of line drawings with captions naming each design in Hopi, giving colors and the weaver. Designs are grouped as life forms, clouds, geometric and ceremonial designs, and kachina faces. A glossary of basket types, design names and kachina names closes the book, with a list of designs the informant called new.
