Basket Maiden - Canvas Print Chile Shop more Native & LocalBasket Maiden A Hopi maiden stands beside corn plants as dragonflies gather above rain clouds. She holds a basket called a yungyapu which has lighting and rain cloud designs upon it. The yungyapu is used in many ways in Hopi culture. The basket has utilitarian use but also is a part of many ceremonies. For the young women who receive these baskets, they are a form of exchange used to thank people for various gestures of support and gratitude. 6"
