A bucket shaped basket with three geometrically decorated bands of false embroidery, two of interlocking lines, the other of widely spaced orange diamonds with black arrowhead-like designs on both sides.

It was added in 1986 by E.C a basket with 4 orange diamonds in the decoration but no ?handle was interpreted as possibly being this one. Good
Context
Identified by George Heye of the Heye Museum of the American Indian as Tlingit. The widely spaced bands of decoration and bucket shape are characteristic of early twentieth century baskets made for sale by the Tlingit (G.Crowther). The original European tribal names and, where possible, current tribal names have both been given in separate GLT fields.
