Antique Paiute baskets, crafted by the Paiute people of the Great Basin (Nevada, Eastern California, Utah), are renowned for their intricate weaving and utilitarian designs, often dating from the late 1800s to the 1930s. These baskets were made using techniques like coiling and twining, with materials such as willow, sedge, bracken fern, red bud, and devils claw. Common forms include cradle boards, water jars, burden baskets, seed jars, beaded baskets, winnowing trays, and ollas, many of which served practical purposes like carrying goods, storing grain, or holding water (when coated with pitch).
