Pomo Indian Basketry is a comprehensive guide to the basketry of the Pomo tribe, an indigenous people of California. Written by Samuel Alfred Barrett and first published in 1908, this book provides detailed information on the materials, techniques, and designs used in Pomo basketry. The author, who was a linguist and ethnographer, spent many years studying the Pomo culture and language, and his expertise is evident in the depth of knowledge and insight he brings to this work.The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides an overview of the Pomo people, their history, and their cultural practices, with a focus on their basketry traditions. The second part delves into the technical aspects of Pomo basketry, including the materials used (such as willow, sedge, and redbud), the tools and techniques employed (such as coiling and twining), and the various types of baskets produced (such as burden baskets, cooking baskets, and baby baskets).Throughout the book, Barrett includes numerous illustrations and photographs of Pomo baskets, as well as detailed descriptions of their construction and design. He also provides valuable insights into the symbolism and meaning behind Pomo basketry, highlighting its importance as both a practical and artistic tradition within the tribe.Overall, Pomo Indian Basketry is a fascinating and informative exploration of a unique and important aspect of Native American culture. It remains a valuable resource for scholars, collectors, and anyone interested in the history and traditions of the Pomo people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
