Description

Navajo wedding baskets are traditionally viewed as a map to chart the rest of their lives. The Sipapu (represented by the central spot) shows the Navajo people's emergence from the past world. Life's journey from birth into adulthood is represented by the inner white coils to the outer red coils (red subsequently signifies the union and family). 


This collection of two yarn woven baskets measure 9" x 3" each and are ideal for wall display. They were woven by Annie Ramone, a UNM alumna '69 and fan of the Singing Wire.
