For thousands of years, Chumash women have been making baskets for domestic use. When 18th-century Spanish explorers and missionaries arrived in coastal Southern California, the group of related Native peoples adapted their technique to meet requests from the outsiders.
Juana Basilia Sitmelelene was among the weavers who created designs identical to those on Spanish colonial coins.
Only six of these baskets remain. Some are inscribed with the weavers’ names, though weavers traditionally did not sign their baskets. That these women were asked to do so shows the high regard in which their art was held.
This one in @smithsoniannmai doesn't bear her name, but its weaving technique and design layout are nearly identical to another presentation basket known to have been woven by Sitmelelene.
