Indian Basketry

Indian Basketry is a comprehensive guide to the art and craft of basket weaving practiced by Native American tribes throughout the United States. Written by George Wharton James, an early 20th-century writer and lecturer who was fascinated by Native American culture, the book contains detailed descriptions of the materials, techniques, and designs used in basketry, as well as the cultural and spiritual significance of this ancient craft. James draws on his own experiences and observations, as well as the knowledge and expertise of Native American weavers, to provide a rich and informative account of the history and diversity of Indian basketry. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs, as well as instructions for making a variety of baskets, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners of this traditional art form.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
