S'abadeb-Seattle Art Museum Artfully shaped by steaming and carving, this diminutive bowl bears a sticky film of fish or sea mammal oil in the bottom. Tasty oils were used to flavor dried fish and other foods. Small dishes with flaring sides, high ends, and substantial rims were a common type: one variation was an elongated oval shape that is shallow in profile. This dish was a gift to the Burke Museum from the Washington World's Fair Commission after the fair ended in Chicago in 1893.
