ET355

Navajo pictorial coiled basket with central yellow sun surrounded by directional sun rays, white/north, yellow/east, orange/south, and blue/west. Four horses (orange, yellow, blue, and black) are evenly positioned around the edge, separated by representations of the sacred plants: corn, bean, squash, and tobacco. The animals are ridden by the gods in the morning as the sun rises and in the evening as the sun sets - as per artist Lorraine Black.
