Both ritual and everyday life. They didn’t always separate the two. In most tribal cultures, decoration is routine. The fancy religious rituals may have had their specific implements but were often just fancier versions of everyday items. I’m not speaking specifically apache at this point but about almost any pre-industrial culture.
Undecorated stuff was usually for one or two uses. Anything else got embellished sooner or later.
Dolls in ceremonial dress
Cradleboards
Gourds handpainted
Gaahn (Crown Dancer) masks made from gourds
Beadwork
Used for both ritual and everyday life.
