The Pomo are one of the most noted groups for their basketry and they use both coiling and twining techniques adeptly. The design on this basket is known as arrowhead-half. The Pomo were known for making baskets woven so tightly they were naturally water proof. Beginning in the 1880's the tourist industry boomed and a demand for woven goods invigorated production for sale rather than use.
