362-140<BR> Plaited ring basket from Cochiti Pueblo; sumac, yucca; d. 28 cm., h. 9 cm.; ca. 1880.<BR> This type of basket was made in different sizes at several Northern Rio Grande Pueblos. Sumac (Rhus), also referred to as squaw bush, was used for the ring, and yucca for the weaving.

Jemez seems to have been a center for the production of plaited yucca ring baskets, but at the Rio Grande Pueblos women also produced these items. Typical of those made at Jemez is the rather long outward fringe below the rim (Williamson 1937,1937a:11; Sando 1979:427; Tanner 1983:79-86; Whiteford 1988:163-170; Bernstein et.al. 2003:66).
