Description: Warrior gods with red corn for a good harvest. 8" deep, 9" diamerter. Natural yucca fiber with natural and commercial dyes.

About this Award: Awarded for high quality in craftsmanship in basket arts.

Jurors' Comments:
Elmer: The coils were tightly done. The materials that were used had nice color to them, and just the overall design was really appealing.
Stuart: The symmetry was very well done, tightly woven, and the colors incorporated were nicely thought out.
Traci: (of the Runner Up - Apache Burden Basket) Very fine weaving and its nice to see a large burden basket, not the kind that goes on your rearview mirror.
