Apache Burden Baskets are hand crafted from Cotton Wood bark and Mulberry sticks and are used as utility baskets to gather fruit, berries, herbs or nuts and also to carry items. These baskets are still used in traditional Apache ceremonies today. The dark weave is the outside bark and the light weave is the inside of the bark. Apache women normally carried the basket against their backs with a strap across the forehead for support. The basket is wrapped with leather at the top to provide greater support and durability. The baskets are decorated with numerous leather strips with tin cones on the ends. The tin cones jingle when the basket is moved. This sound was said to ward off snakes as the women walked through the desert.
