Two Baskets Stolen from Santa Fe Shipping Facility, April, 2006
The following images are photos of two baskets that were apparently stolen by a UPS employee in April 2006 during transit (it appears likely that this happened at the Santa Fe, N. M., UPS facility). The UPS shipping label and the Kania-Ferrin Gallery label (which does not include the word “gallery” ) were cut off our box and taped onto a large box of toilet paper rolls which the client in Chicago received.
Basket #1 is a Pima bowl with human figures measuring 7 3/4″ d. by 3 1/2″ h. Basket #2 is a Western Mono toy basketry cradle measuring 19 1/2″ L. by 9 1/2″ Wide and 8″ deep at the sunshade.
