Hand Woven with Open Weave Basket in Oval Shape with Handle

A Hupa basket with handle refers to a traditional woven basket created by the Hupa (also spelled Hoopa) people, an Indigenous tribe from the Hoopa Valley in northwestern California. These baskets are renowned for their intricate craftsmanship, cultural significance, and use in everyday life, ceremonies, and trade. The addition of a handle distinguishes certain utilitarian styles, often used for carrying or gathering, and sets them apart from the more common coiled or twined storage baskets and hat baskets produced by the Hupa and neighboring tribes like the Yurok and Karok.
