Makah lidded trinket baskets are traditional woven items from the Makah people (also known as the Qwiqwidicciat), a Native American tribe from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state, near Neah Bay. They are renowned for their exceptional basketry, particularly finely woven lidded baskets used for storing small items like trinkets, needles, or valuables.
