A Tohono O'odham elder sits weaving a coiled basket in her lap, hands working the fiber as the vessel takes shape. She wears a blue trimmed blouse over a long green skirt, a beaded necklace, and soft moccasins, her grey hair and lined face conveying age and quiet skill.

The seated craft pose and finished coil-work make her a complete little vignette of traditional basketry.

A rich focal figure for a Southwestern village or historical diorama, a trading-post or market scene on a model railroad layout, or a display depicting traditional indigenous crafts.
