About The Spiral Wheat Stitch with Martynia Rim Treatment

This shallow round bowl is ready to hang on a wall, in all its natural splendor!

The martynia edge treatment (devil's claw) provides a welcome contrast to the bleached yucca and bundle foundation.

About Tohono O'odham

Tohono O'odham basket makers are among the finest in Native America. All materials are natural, as are all the colors - no dyes are ever used. Preparing the materials and forming the baskets is a very labor-intensive process. The basketry created by this tribe is best described by Terry De Wald in his book The Papago Indians and Their Basketry. Mr. De Wald has been a trader specializing in their basketry for more than 25 years.
