Dat-so-la-lee Works, 1900-1921
The collection comprises an outstanding exhibition of 62 miniatures and
models, woven for Amy Cohn, from 1900-1921. Dat-so-la-lee (Louisa

exclusively for Cohn's Emporium Store in Carson City, NV and at the
Bicose in Tahoe City, CA, producing over 100 recorded large and
miniature Washoe-style baskets, from 1895-1925. Her creations have
since become world-renowned and remain a lasting tribute to the artist.
Now privately owned, this will be the first time Amy Cohn's personal
collection will be on public display. This exhibition runs from May -
October 2005/2006, (the show is still listed on website in 2012),
and features baskets, personal items, photographs and educational
materials. This program has been made possible in part by the Placer
County Visitor Council and the County of Placer. For more information
