Basket c. 20th century

"Basket" is a small, intricately woven basket created by Makah artist Qwiqwidicciat sometime in the 20th century. The basket's intricate pattern and delicate size suggest a level of skill and artistry common in traditional Makah basketry. The basket's circular shape and the use of natural materials, including woven cedar bark and colorful bands, reflect the Makah peoples' connection to their environment and their mastery of traditional crafting techniques. The basket is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
