The willow has taken on the warm honey-gold patina prized in old Apache work, and the devil's claw remains rich and glossy black with no notable fading, the coiling is tight and regular throughout with no losses to the rim or repairs visible, and a faint old inventory number is inked near the center on the interior, suggesting a documented private or dealer collection history. \u003cbr\u003eSize: 12 in.
