Great Basin Pitch Basket, 6" x 14" with horse
hair handles. There is some chipping of the
pitch along the upper edge, however, in this
basket is in wonderful condition for used
equipment. Similar in construction to water jars
made by the Apache, Ute and others of the Great
Basin region. I consulted a well know authority
about this basket and he stated that he had not
seen anything quite like it. Nor have I seen
similar items in recent auctions.

Blackfoot Doll: Native tanned deer skin dress
beaded yoke and belt with fringe. Purchased
by the Devil Dancer Shop in Missoula,
Montana from a Blackfoot Tribal Member in
1979, who stated that the doll had belonged
to his Grandmother. The head appears to be
made of clay and with a painted face, as are
the hands. Conch shell earrings. Certainly,
the doll is not new, but has had a restoration
of undergarment. Doll 13" tall. BF-Doll-0011
