This intricately woven basket, created by the Hupa artist Natinixwe, is a beautiful example of Native American basketry. The basket is crafted from natural materials and features a geometric pattern of diamonds and triangles, highlighting the Hupa tribe’s artistic skill and cultural heritage. Its compact size, measuring 4 3/8 × 6 7/16 × 6 7/16 in., suggests it was intended for a specific purpose, perhaps for gathering or storing small items. Currently, it is on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcasing the artistry and cultural significance of Native American basket weaving.
