This Southwest Native American basketry plaque is handcrafted using a traditional coiled construction technique. The piece features a three-part polychrome geometric design, commonly identified as a star or squash blossom motif, rendered in dark brown fibers against a natural cream-colored ground. The material consists of split plant fibers, likely yucca and devil's claw. The rim is finished with a whipstitched edge that incorporates alternating dark accents. The pattern is clearly visible on both the front and back of the tray.
