This design was called Chief's Heart. The black spot at the top doesn't mean anything, when I was scanning them another design overlapped, and it is not part of the design.

Chief's Daughter

September 26, 2005

This design was named Chief's Daughter. This is a very common design in Cherokee Baskets. Again there is no indication which clan this design may have come from or which family in the early 1900s would have supplied or woven it. This particular design is a variation of the Diamond design with the small cross in the center.

Arrows

September 26, 2005

This is called Arrows with a smaller version which is called Lightning, with a zig-zag effect in the basket.

Cherokee Baskets: I am a citizen of the Cherokee Nation and now live in Oklahoma -- The baskets you see here are traditional weave baskets but commercial materials. Any time any commerical products are used the basket is classified as a contemporary Cherokee Basket. When natural materials such as River Cane, Honeysuckle etc is used with natural dyes, then the basket is classified as a traditional Cherokee Basket. I am also a member of the California State Bar
