Newly acquired basket and bracelet

We recently acquired a wonderful and unusual Yavapai basket that has a negative design. This basket is woven out of willow and devil’s claw and it has several very interesting features to it. The basket has a strong visual impact and is in excellent condition.

We also acquired an Antonio Pineda bracelet made out of 970 silver and onyx that came from a private collection. This bracelet is known as the “comma” bracelet and it clearly has a modernist feel, which is a characteristic of Antonio Pineda’s designs. The hallmarks date the bracelet to 1953-1979. Antonio Pineda was an important part of the Revival of Mexican arts that took place from the late 1930s-1979. Antonio Pineda achieved international fame and his works from that period are always desirable.
