Wicker plaques—often colorfully dyed—are popular items among collectors of Hopi arts and crafts. They are used domestically at Hopi to hold foods, including ground corn, corn on the cob, and piki bread, and ceremonially to hold prayer sticks, prayer feathers, and bean sprouts. Wicker plaques figure prominently in Hopi wedding ceremonies and women’s ceremonial dances, and are given away at the Bean Dance and katsina dances. Both geometric forms and more representational imagery woven into wicker plaques bear symbolic significance, conveying important cultural values and beliefs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45877171060901,"sku":"5055-142","price":340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5055-142_2.jpg?v=1767204661","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/5055-142-hopi-pueblo-indian-basket-third-mesa","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
