Hopi Pueblo coiled tray baskets (often called plaques or poota in Hopi) are a distinctive form of Native American basketry produced primarily by women in the villages of Second Mesa (such as Shongopavi, Mishongnovi, and Shipaulovi) in northeastern Arizona. These flat or shallow coiled pieces represent a living cultural tradition that blends functionality, symbolism, and artistry.
