Description
This is a close up image of a giwho, called a "burden basket" in English. This is a very distinctive and traditional O'odham woman's backpack. This particular one is toy sized. Historical photographs of O'odham women show their gigiwho (plural form) piled high with pottery, firewood, and baskets. The supporting sticks of the giwho are wa:pai (saguaro cactus ribs). The carrying net sack is woven a'uḍ (agave) fibers dyed different colors. The agave net sack is joined to the saguaro rib frame with kawyu mo-o (horse hair) twine. The plaited umug (sotol) strap passes over a wearer's forehead to support the basket. A plaited umug mat provides protection for the wearer's back.
