ANTIQUE Yanomami Gathering Basket with Snake motif
This large, vintage Yanomami gathering basket is tightly handwoven of natural fibers with several inner rings for stability. The straps are tied around the small loops around the top edge and were placed over the forehead and used to carry the basket on one's back. The Yanomami are indigenous to the Amazonian regions of Brazil and Venezuela. "Yanomami means “human being”. The Yanomami are an indigenous tribe, which is made up of subdivisions of Indian villages that live in seclusion.
Each household contains one to six family compartments and live together in a large circular structure called a Shabono. Social life is organized around kinship relationships, descent from ancestors, and marriage. They are hunters and gatherers and tend small garden plots. The Yanommami are believed to be the most primitive, culturally intact people in the world and the last culture to come into contact with the modern world."
