Gambling tray
Mrs. Dick Francisco Native American
Not on view
Yokuts women used decorated trays to play a dice game called huuchuish. Mrs. Dick Francisco, a master of weaving, created this extraordinary example, one of the largest and most finely woven of its kind. It incorporates imagery of human figures, flowerlike clusters, and diamond-shaped rattlesnake patterns. She wove for the curio trade, and the tray’s pristine condition suggests that it entered a private collection upon completion.
