Antique Papago bowl baskets are traditional coiled baskets made by the Papago people (now known as the Tohono O’odham or “Desert People”), indigenous to the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona and northern Mexico. 

These baskets are prized for their craftsmanship, cultural significance, and connection to the desert environment. They were historically utilitarian (for gathering food, storage, parching grains, or ceremonial uses like holding saguaro wine) but evolved into highly collectible art forms.

  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

Oversized Pieces

As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.
