Chaco meets Acoma

My first attempt at a large basket illusion. The piece is about 9.5 wide by 12 tall. The piece is a segmented holly glue up. The patterns were influenced by the patterns found on Chaco Chocolate Storage Jars and the work of Melissa Antonio an Acoma potter. Finished with a clear matte finish.

Just begging to be picked up but hard to do on the screen! I love the intricate design and workmanship. Well done!

For a first attempt, that sure does look like some skills used in it's creation were in a high state of development before taking on this challenge.....very well done, indeed! :D
