These tiny works of art, often no larger than a thumbnail (ranging from 1\/8 inch to about 4 inches in diameter or height), showcase the remarkable skill, patience, and cultural significance of Pomo weavers, predominantly women. Recognized worldwide for their fineness of weave, diversity of form, and intricate designs, these baskets were not mere miniatures but functional or ceremonial items scaled down to demonstrate mastery—sometimes used as gifts, toys for children, or prestige objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance:  From the Len and Toni Wood Private Collection, Laguna Beach, California\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46498664841381,"sku":"5231-078","price":550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/5231-078_1.jpg?v=1764624114","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/pomo-miniature-oval-basket","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
