Navajo folk art has contributed a great deal to Southwest Native American art. Wanting to celebrate that tradition, several years ago Peggy Black created a basket depicting many of the symbols associated with the movement. Her basket has a turkey, two lamas, two chickens and two people riding a horse. With an aged patina on the front and original color on the back you could say its aged well, something we can all hope for.

About the artist:
One of the famous Douglas Mesa basket weavers, there wasn't much question about what Peggy Rock Black would choose to pursue in life. She was born into a family of weavers before she married into an equally talented family of weavers.
