Antique Native American Basketry of Western North America by John Kania and Alan Blaugrund. This book contains a reference and photograph of the above LK 1 basket on page 164. Book, hardcover. Book jacket is black with an image of a basket on the front cover.
Written on inside of the front jacket cover. "A comprehensive guide to identification, this book is for readers who are interested in antique Native American basketry, specifically the skill of basket making tribes of western North America. It is not a formal anthropology text, but rather an organized compendium of Native basketry information that blends the previous work of many anthropologists and the experience of the authors. The text defines how collectors, curators, dealers, and auction personnel, academies or any interested person can systematically approach tribal identification of Native American basketry. It does this by clarifying the authors' relationale for tribal groupings based on basket types and not on language or other cultural traits. It explains the multiple Native American basket making materials and techniques and describes how understanding this information can lead to an accurate tribal attribution. This knowledge is essential in developing connoisseurship and will enhance an appreciation of this wonderful Native American art form."
