Larger Antique Hopi Wicker Tray. Offered by Antique American Indian Art, LLC --- AAIA ---  Larger Antique Hopi Wicker Tray ca 1930-40 Size 14.25" D x .375" H Hand Woven in a Wicker Technique in Vibrant Polychrome Design in Purple, Orange, Yellow, Black, Green, Cream and Brown In Good Condition with Fading on the Top A Hopi wicker tray is a traditional form of basketry created by Hopi women, primarily from the Third Mesa region of the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona. These trays are shallow, plaque-like baskets woven using a wicker technique, which involves a flexible warp of sumac (or willow) branches and a weft of dyed rabbit brush, bound with yucca leaf rims. They are known for their vibrant polychrome designs in colors like red, yellow, black, blue, green, and brown, often featuring symbolic motifs inspired by Hopi spirituality, agriculture, and nature—such as kachinas (spirit beings), eagles, clouds, rainbows, butterflies, antelope, snakes, and geometric patterns representing stars, whirls, or rain.   Unlike coiled baskets from Second Mesa, wicker trays have a more open, textured weave that allows for bold, sweeping designs. They are typically 12–18 inches in diameter and about 0.5–1 inch deep, making them lightweight yet durable. 250726-20 Welcome to Matt Wood's  Antique American Indian Art, LLC (AAIA) eBay Listings As the nation’s leading gallery of Antique North American Indian Art and Artifacts, we invite you to consider the beautiful art and artifacts that we list on eBay with full confidence in the authenticity and legality of the item, in the accuracy of the listing, and in the professionalism that we demonstrate in processing each transaction.
