About The Wicker Plaque #1 Stylized Butterfly Design

Color fading due to UV light exposure is unmistakable when comparing this plaque's front versus the back side.

Wicker baskets, made from native vegetal fibers and mineral and vegetal dyes, are produced at Third Mesa villages, including Oraibi, Kykotsmovi and Hotevilla in northeastern Arizona.
