In honor of #NativeAmericanHistoryMonth, we'll be highlighting Native American Art from the @metamericanwing with Met curator Patricia Norby (Purépecha).

Today, she reflects on Juana Basilia Sitmelelene's basket tray:

"Estimated at 325-350 stitches per square inch, this intricately woven three-rod foundation coiled tray exemplifies Chumash women’s artistry and innovation in basketmaking.

Made from hand-harvested and split juncus stalks (basket rush), image details include corn, other local plants, star-cross motifs, and Spanish colonial coins. The visual components of Chumash environmental references and Spanish currency signaled cultural, religious, and political changes during the Mission Period (1769-1834) in coastal Southern California that affected the lives of Chumash peoples for centuries.⁣"

See Juana's exceptional basket on view in "Art of Native America: the Charles and Valerie Diker Collection." Learn more at the link in bio.
