Description
A dark green beaded Paiute basket with a gold and black design. This is 3-3/4 inches in diameter by 2 inches high. It has a wheat-colored interior and the beads are seed beads with no sheen, making the basket more valuable than one covered with glass beads. The basket was woven and beaded by Mrs. Irma McCloud, a full-blood Paiute, whose daughter, Dorothy, went to Haskell.
