GBPE1 A very nice, well made and unique  Californian The obviously aged tag reads: 4,500.00
woven basket in perfect condition with the "Sierra Nevada Mountains,
exception of 3 holes which the owner thinks were Amador County, California July
used by a museum to mount this one on a wall for 1895" Some one also added in
display. (The adjacent strands can probably be pencil "(something) Carson Valley"
gently pushed to cover over these piercings) The Purchased from an old time
reason for this assumption is also based on what   collection in Los Gatos, CA
appear to be an "acquisition number" in black on the
inside bottom of this masterpiece. (See 2nd photo in
2nd row) It's uniqueness comes from the fact that it
had 2 makers (mother & daughter ?... teacher &
pupil ?) The first weaver's stitches are very small
and tight, and travel up from the bottom to just 
where the "lightening patterns" abruptly end. (see the
1st photo in the 2nd row) It is at this point that a 
second weaver took over and the stitching from this
weaver are of a different style and slightly larger.
Quite an interesting item in GREAT condition.
