Papago Handwoven Basket, Vintage, Plate, 6" x 1"
Description
This vintage Papago handwoven basket plate is a stunning example of Indigenous craftsmanship and cultural expression. Meticulously coiled from native desert materials, the plate features a dynamic spiral pattern that draws the eye inward, symbolizing motion and continuity. The natural hues of sun-bleached yucca and golden grasses highlight the intricate overlay technique used by Tohono O’odham (Papago) weavers. Each twist of the fiber tells a story, of tradition, community, and the surrounding Sonoran landscape. Lightweight yet durable, this piece once served both utilitarian and ceremonial purposes. Today, it stands as a timeless work of art, perfect for wall display or as a centerpiece in a curated Southwestern collection.
