Gambling Tray c. 1900

This circular tray, crafted by the Yokuts people around 1900, is a stunning example of Native American basketry. The tray, woven from natural materials, is intricately decorated with geometric patterns and stylized human figures. The tray's design likely served a dual purpose, both as a functional object and a symbolic representation of the Yokuts people's cultural beliefs. The tray is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be admired for its craftsmanship and artistry.
