This deep, cactus fruit harvesting bowl with two rows of traditionally-influenced Hohokam fret designs has six frets at the base and eleven at the rim. It was woven with willow and devil’s claw over a three-rod foundation.

Initially baskets were woven for purely utilitarian purposes: Grain was stored inside them, wine was served from them, water was transported in them, games were played on them and stories were woven in them. It is the EBC’s distinct pleasure to preserve this part of Arizona’s rich history and heritage.
