Papago Basket - C3903JAccording to O'odham oral history, the man-in-the-maze labyrinth design depicts experiences and choices we make in our journey through life. In the middle of the "maze," a person finds his or her dreams and goals. When one reaches the center, there is one final opportunity (the last turn in the design) to look back upon our choices and path, before the Sun God greets us, blesses us and passes us into the next world.
