Hopi Coil Plaque
by Alberta Selina, Hopi

Description: Katsina maiden with rain cloud. Natural plant colors except black from commercial dye.

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

Jurors’ Comments:

Mark Bahti: It’s a very nice tight weave and an ambitious pattern: you don’t see figurative work to begin with that much and on small pieces it’s even less common.

Susan Folwell: I agree with Mark. It’s beautiful. It’s really lovely: very well done.

Martin Kim: The use of katsina imagery and complex details in basket miniatures is just even more challenging. It’s a very, very impressive basket.
