Makah lidded trinket baskets are traditional woven containers crafted by the Makah Tribe, located around Neah Bay on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Historically used to store small valuables like needles or trinkets, these finely detailed items evolved into a critical economic asset and a highly celebrated form of Native American art.
