The rich diversity and stunning beauty of North American Indian baskets is celebrated in "The Spirit of the Basket," a show of 85 intricately woven utilitarian and decorative containers in the Library Gallery at California State University, Sacramento.
A small Pomo basket is decorated with abalone and sea beads.
This covered basket dates from the late 1800s or early 1900s.
