Kodina
Mollie Wright Jackson, a Pomo basket weaver, pauses in her work to watch the elder John Scott pack a tobacco pipe. Her materials are visible at left in a basket woven by her mother-in-law, Jenny Jackson, underscoring the intergenerational nature of Pomo artistry. Rows of hops appear in the background. Following White settlement, many Pomo men picked hops to earn wages, while women often made baskets for sale to non-Native collectors such as Hudson, who owned the four baskets featured here.
