Her work features traditional techniques such as hand-coiling and stone polishing, often with geometric designs, as seen in a black-on-black basket with a geometric pattern above the shoulder. Her contribution to the Santa Clara tradition of finely crafted, polished blackware and redware with deep carvings. Garcia comes from a lineage of notable potters, though she is distinct from Margaret Tafoya, a renowned Santa Clara matriarch known for large, polished blackware vessels and deep carvings, and Tammy Garcia, a contemporary innovator who is Tafoya’s great-niece. Margaret Garcia’s work upholds the pueblo’s centuries-old tradition of creating glossy blackware and redware, often incorporating traditional symbols like bear claws or geometric patterns, while contributing her own artistic voice to this vibrant heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45878108848293,"sku":"22-0221","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/s725348264778838518_p15002_i1_w819.jpg?v=1757346533"},{"product_id":"yavapai-large-bowl-basket-by-josephine-harrison","title":"Yavapai Large Bowl Basket By Josephine Harrison","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--StartFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003eca. 1940\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003e3.125\" H x 15.75\" D \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003eHand Woven with a Golden Tan Background and Dark Brown Bugs Motif and Geometric Pattern with Dark Brown Rim\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003eExcellent Condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003eJosephine Harrison (likely the intended spelling for \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003eJosephene\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003e\") was a prominent Yavapai basket weaver active in the mid-20th century, particularly around 1940\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf1\"\u003e–1950.

These coiled baskets, often on a three-rod base, feature intricate geometric, pictorial, or negative designs symbolizing animals, stars, crosses, or celestial motifs. Bowls and trays were used for storage, cooking, and ceremonies, with large examples (10–18 inches in diameter) being prized for their symmetry and durability. Yavapai weaving peaked in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, influenced by shared traditions with Western Apache weavers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cf0\"\u003eProvenance:  From the Len and Toni Wood Private Collection, Laguna Beach, California\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46038687973541,"sku":"5231-167","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5231-167_1.jpg?v=1762378445"}],"url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/collections\/garcia-margaret.oembed","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
