Pair of Tarahumara Woven Baskets – One with Lid, 11″ Diameter
Pair of authentic Tarahumara (Rarámuri) handwoven baskets, each formed in the classic jar style traditional to the Sierra Madre region of Chihuahua, Mexico. Expertly woven from natural plant fibers—likely split pine needles or sotol—they display a tight diagonal weave pattern with warm, honey-toned coloration. The pair includes one lidded and one open-neck vessel, harmoniously matched in size and craftsmanship.
These baskets exemplify the enduring artistry of Tarahumara weavers, whose techniques have been passed down through generations. Once used for storing seeds, grains, and household goods, such pieces are now valued for their sculptural beauty and cultural authenticity. They make striking decorative accents for rustic, bohemian, or natural interiors.
Condition
Good condition overall. The weaving remains strong and intact, with no visible breaks or losses. Natural tonal variations and minor irregularities are consistent with traditional handmade construction. The lid fits properly and sits flush when in place.
Dimensions
- Lidded basket: 11″ H × 11″ Dia.
- Open basket: 11″ H × 9″ Dia.
