These trays are part of a long-standing coiled basketry tradition. They were primarily practical household items used for food preparation (cutting, mixing, or holding ingredients), winnowing grains/seeds, serving, and sometimes ceremonial purposes (such as by medicine people for food/drink during healing or salt-gathering rites). They functioned much like pans, bowls, or plates.
