Basket, 20th century, 2 x 12 in. (5.08 x 30.48 cm), Plant fibers, United States, 20th century, The art of basket making is passed through generations of Tohono Oodham and Akimel Oothom women. Young women learn by listening and watching their elders. They begin with simple designs and work their way to using more complex patterns. The complexity of each artists design is created entirely in a mental picture: it is never drawn beforehand. The maker counts only stitches to ensure a balanced pattern and perfectly straight or curved lines. Variations of the squash blossom design decorate these Akimel Oothom baskets. It is said that the squash plants once grew in the fields of ancient Akimel Oothom farmers. Another possibility is that the buttons on the trousers of Spanish soldiers originally inspired the design. The squash blossom also appears commonly as a form on Southwestern jewelry.
