Yup\'ik (Yupik) lidded baskets are traditional coiled grass baskets made by Yup\'ik women in southwestern Alaska (primarily the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region). They are often called mingqaaq (meaning something like \"sewn\" or coiled basket) and became popular as a market/souvenir art form in the late 19th/early 20th century, encouraged by missionaries and traders.
