A Makah oval open basket is a traditional handwoven basket created by the Makah people, an Indigenous tribe from the northwestern tip of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, near Cape Flattery. These baskets are prized examples of Northwest Coast Native American basketry, valued for their fine craftsmanship, cultural significance, and practical utility. Unlike lidded versions used for storage, open baskets were often employed for gathering, market use, or display.
