Ironwood handicrafts are made by the Seri and Yaqui indigenous people of the state of Sonora, Mexico in limited productions, and with an artisanal process, and on a large scale they can be found in stores in the states of Baja California and Sonora. Together with the haat plant baskets, they are one of the most notorious cultural manifestations of the Seri and Yaqui indigenous people, although in recent times, due to commercial success, handicrafts made by non-indigenous people are made in large quantities.

The most recurrent motifs in the elaboration of these handicrafts are marine fauna, such as turtles, sea lions, sailfish and sharks; as well as desert, such as owls, snakes and hares.
