Makah bottle baskets are a distinctive form of Native American basketry created by the Makah people (also known as the Nootka or Kwih-dich-chuh-aht), an indigenous tribe residing at Neah Bay on the northwestern Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, USA. These baskets represent a blend of traditional weaving techniques and a 19th-20th century cottage industry adaptation, often shaped like elongated bottles or jars to appeal to non-Native tourists and collectors. They are prized for their intricate craftsmanship, cultural significance, and historical role in economic self-sufficiency.
