WICKER PLAQUES AND YUCCA BASKETS

Wicker plaques are made on Third Mesa, women are the producers of these plaques. Wicker plaques are made different from coil plaques, different materials are used, but the designs are basically the same. Rubber rabbit brush, yucca and long sticks of brum are used to make the wicker plaques and baskets. Baskets are rarely made today.

Yucca baskets are now made in several colors, the designs can be from one single diamond to several diamonds, eagles, scriptures and banners. Like U.S.A, welcome, etc. Yucca baskets are made on all three mesas, it is usually made by women.
