Old cedar bark basket that has been folded, and possibly painted at one time. Its shape is more pouch-like than a round basket.; Good
Context
The original European tribal names and, where possible, current tribal names have both been given in separate GLT fields.; From the state of this basket and McIlwraith' s comments on collecting in Bella Coola it seems likely this was a utilitarian basket made for indigenous use (G.Crowther).; Collected by: McIlwraith.T.F in ?1923
