Native American Hopi Made Sifter Basket by Theresa Monongye

Women on all three mesas make plaited sifter baskets. These baskets are made by plaiting beargrass fibers, either natural or dyed, to achieve many designs. Many of the Hopi wickers, coils, and sifters are used for social or ceremonial purposes.
