Last week, I wrote about the silver collection<\/a>. Earlier I also talked about the Katsina collection at the Heard Museum<\/a>. I really could have taken a photo of each Katsina, but I tried restraint instead. The week before, I talked about the Kahlo \/ Rivera Exhibit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I only had about two hours to see the whole museum, so I had to focus. the collections described above were mostly the collections on which I focused.\u00a0As I walked around I saw a few other random items that inspired me.<\/p>\n

\"Hopi<\/a>
Hopi Baskets, 1968-69<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In an exhibit about weddings, there were numerous items related to that event. One was a beautiful flat basket.<\/p>\n

One of the things I like about this basket is the texture combined with the color. I think it would look great on a wall. I also liked the description “Numerous baskets were made by the bride’s family and given to the groom’s family” (Heard Museum information). This information, brief as it is, seems to imply that the groom rather than the bride was the property and the bride’s family had to pay for “the property.” \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
