Quinault baskets are traditional works of Native American art from the Quinault Indian Nation, a Southwestern Coast Salish people in western Washington. They are renowned for their intricate basketry, often using materials like cedar bark, spruce root, bear grass, and reeds. Large baskets with handles were typically functional gathering or burden baskets for carrying berries, roots, fish, or other resources, sometimes featuring geometric designs or plain twining.
