Pomo Indian Baskets

The Pomo Indians lived in Lake County, California around Clear Lake.

Their Basketry is the most versatile and diversified of all Indian Tribes.

They made use of feathers, shell beads and glass beads.

The Pomo used twined and coiled baskets as well as many other techniques.

Ceremonial Gift Baskets, Hoppers for grinding, Cone shaped Burden Baskets all make up the Basketry of these fine weavers.
