Willow stem and sumac
Commentary
An Apache, Ute, or Paiute, rather than a Navajo basket maker produced this traditionally-colored reddish-brown and black Navajo "wedding basket." The black results from a mixture of coal, sumac leaves, and resin; the reddish-brown from a mixture of mountain mahogany, juniper roots, and alder bark.
