Pima basketry, created by the Akimel O’odham (Pima) people of central and southern Arizona, is renowned for its tight coiling technique, intricate geometric patterns, and practical yet artistic designs. These baskets were essential for daily life, including food preparation, storage, gathering, and ceremonial uses, dating back centuries.

The pedestal base is a distinctive structural feature in some Pima baskets, where the base is coiled to form a raised, foot-like pedestal, elevating the basket slightly off the surface. This design not only adds aesthetic height and stability but also enhances functionality for display or use in rituals. Pedestal-base baskets are often seen in cups, bowls, or trays from the late 19th to mid-20th century.
