Papago (Tohono O’odham) winnowing trays are traditional coiled baskets made by the Tohono O’odham people (formerly known as Papago) of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona and northern Mexico. These shallow, open, plate-like or bowl-shaped baskets served practical purposes like winnowing (separating chaff from grain by tossing in the wind), parching seeds, drying fruits, catching flour from grinding, serving food, or display.
