Makah lidded trinket baskets (also called "pika-uu" in related Nuu-chah-nulth languages) are small, finely woven containers traditionally made by Makah women from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state (Neah Bay area). 
They became a notable cottage industry starting in the 1860s–1870s and continued through the mid-20th century, produced for sale to tourists and collectors. These are distinct from larger utilitarian baskets and are prized for their intricate wrapped-twining technique, colorful geometric or figurative designs (often in dyed beargrass or other materials), and compact size.
