Papago Oval Tray Baskets known as Tohono O'odham basket trays—are traditional, hand-coiled vessels handcrafted by the Indigenous Tohono O'odham people (historically referred to as the Papago) of the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico. Prized by collectors for their historical utility, complex geometry, and cultural significance, these shallow, elongated "boat-form" trays typically served household roles like winnowing grains and serving food before becoming highly sought-after Southwest regional art pieces.

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • 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.

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.
