Description

Pair Papago Tohono O’odham Coiled Basket Bowls

A pair of Papago (Tohono O’odham) handwoven basket bowls in natural desert fibers. Both are formed in a shallow coiled shape with warm, earthy tones and subtle concentric banding. The tight stitching and rounded rims reflect careful handwork and traditional Southwest basketry techniques.

These baskets likely date to the 20th century and represent a practical form associated with Tohono O’odham weaving traditions. Their matched but slightly varied sizes make them well suited for display as a pair.

Condition:
In good condition with no damage. Light, even wear consistent with age and handmade construction; fibers remain intact and structurally sound.

Dimensions:
Height: 1" x Diameter: 7"
Height: 2" x Diameter: 8"
Soup shown in photos for scale.
