FAMOUS KUMEYAAY INDIAN RATTLESNAKE BASKET WEAVERS

Kumeyaay California Indian basket weavers have always been known and respected for their fine Native American coiled juncus basket art. The southern Kumiai Indian weavers of San Jose de la Zorra, Baja California, Mexico, are keeping this cultural tradition alive.

Pictured above on her San Jose de la Zorra rancho, Maria displays a large juncus coiled rattlesnake basket she just finished for a commissioned basket sale.

Maria de los Angeles Carrillo, pictured, is a well known famous southern Kumiai tribal weaver who illustrates the fine Native American Indian basketry art of the Indigenous California peoples of northern Baja California and southwestern California border region.

Maria supports her family with her mission basket style basketry and specialises in coiled juncus pieces.

Because the old antique Kumeyaay baskets are too expensive for most people to buy, and most are already in museums, many people today are building their basket collections with the newer Kumeyaay baskets from talented working artists like Maria.
