Basket 19th-20th century

This intricately woven basket, titled "Basket" and created by the Hupa artist Natinixwe in the late 19th or early 20th century, is a beautiful example of Native American basketry. The basket's dark brown weave is accented by thin bands of lighter material, creating a subtle but visually striking pattern. The basket's shape and decorative elements are characteristic of Hupa craftsmanship, showcasing the artist's skill and cultural heritage. Now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this basket serves as a tangible testament to the tradition and artistry of the Hupa people.
