Papago\/Tohono O'odham basketry features tight weaves, geometric or pictorial motifs, and functional yet artistic forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pedestal style specifically means the basket has an elevated base or footed\/raised stand-like bottom, rather than sitting flat. This gives it a cup or bowl like appearance with elevation, sometimes described as a \"footed bowl\" or \"pedestal base.\" These were often small to medium-sized, used historically for storage, serving, or ceremonial purposes, though many vintage examples are now collectible decorative items. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47451036516517,"sku":"220319-078","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/220319-78_1_ba804c08-1d05-4278-91b6-2dcde10996f3.jpg?v=1769718592","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/papago-pedestal-basket","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
