BE171>APACHE BURDEN BASKETThis is a most interesting basket. I acquired this basket it a little antique store, near the Smoky Bear National Museum in Capitan, New Mexico. The lady in the antique store insisted it was called a burden basket. She said she has seen a few over the years but never one this large. The wood appears to be willow and the lining is probably deer skin. The hair is still on some of the skin. The top is 21 inches in diameter and it is 21 inches tall. She indicated these type baskets were made by the Mescalero Apache and the Jicarilla Apache. Capitan is located about 20 miles North of the Inn of the Mountain Gods on the Apache Reservation and about 20 miles West of Lincoln, New Mexico. It is about 10 miles West of the site where the first Smoky Bear was found as a cub after a forest fire, had his life saved and spent the remaining years in the Washington Zoo as the first Smoky Bear. That bear lived about 25 more years and is buried in Capitan. The store where this item was purchased is about a block away from the Museum. This was on Labor Day week-end and she had a large sign indicating a large percentage off her items. However, she would not give that discount on this item. If fact she was rather difficult to deal with on this item. She also insisted that she would not take my Tax Number so sales tax had to be charged. She did not want my American Express Card either-cash only. I concluded from this she did not really want to sell this item or knew I really wanted it and she had me. It was at her closing time so I could not walk out and see if she would at least give me the Sales Tax break. I finally caved and met her terms. I did manage to get her to throw in an old copy of the National Georgaphic she was asking a dollar for. Had to do something to save my ego, even if just a very little. My wife and two friends who were with me gave me the rasberries about being out psyched. No question about it. I wanted it and she knew it. They all did agree they liked it a lot and it was most unusual. Obviously I think It is very unique piece. If anyone has any information on an item like this, please feel free to let me know.

LE084APACHE SADDLE.This is a most unusual saddle. I picked it up at the Beinfeld Antique Arms Show in January. It looks somewhat like a pack saddle but is covered with what appears to be steer hide. It has a frame made of small branches of a tree bound together for strength and the staves of what appears to be a Yucca cacti fastened to those small branches. A most unusual piece. It it is good shape and does show signs of wear. However, it may have been covered by a blanket something like that when used as I showed in image F below. I have lived in Southern Arizona for years and the tree parts, yucca plant parts and steer hide all look like what one would expect to see in this area and apacheria. If anyone has better information on this item please fell free to email me. The saddle blanket did not come with the saddle and is not sold with the saddle. If someone really wants it and buys the saddle I would throw the blanket in for another $100, otherwise it is not for sale. PRICE:$950.Picture

BE072-HAUSMAN DRUG STORE SIGNThis is a very interesting old sign from Trinidad, Colorado. In the history of Trinidad it states that there was a mixture of Native American, European and Mexican in that area starting about the time of the Santa Fe Trail. This sign seems to encompass all. The name is in English, the drugs advertised are in Spanish, and there is a big emblem of the Whirling Log design which was used frequently in Navajo weaving until the Nazi Party adopted a similar design. Navajo Rugs with that Whirling Log design are very popular today because it is widely known that the Native Americans used that emblem years before it became common with the Nazi Party. The sign measures 8-7/8 x 19-3/4 and is in good condition. PRICE: $385 Picture

BE016-BEADED DANCING PIECE. I am really not for sure what this is. It appears to be something made in recent years. It has seashells fastened to the end of each string. It would tie around someone and could be used in dancing. With all those beads, it is somewhat heavy. The beadwork is red, white, light blue, dark blue, and yellow. This piece is African. A person emailed me the other day and indicated that the Zulu young women would wear these dancing skirts during their wedding or when trying to attract a young man. I responsed by saying that wearing this dancing skirt would surely attract a young man. PRICE: $50Picture
