"This book provides the most complete study of the exquisite Native American basketry from the San Francisco Bay Area and the Monterey Bay region north to Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino and eastward across the Sacramento Valley to the crest of the Sierras." "Nearly 200 full color photographs and drawings illustrate the rare, fine California Indian baskets from great museums and private collections in the United States and Europe. The vast majority of these baskets are illustrated for the first time."--Jacket.
