The basketry of the Pomo people of California is renowned for the exceptional finesse of its weaving and the complexity of its geometric designs. Made from carefully selected plant fibres, these baskets were used in daily life, but could also be used for ceremonial exchanges or prestigious purposes. The balance of the shapes and the precision of the decoration bear witness to great technical mastery and a particularly refined decorative sense.
