Basketry Item Number: 2911/19 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Clear glass container covered with basketry. The bottle is tall and thin, bulging slightly at its base, shoulder and rim, and indented at the neck. The fine weaving covers the exact shape of the bottle including the base. Only the top of the rim and interior are uncovered. There is some very faded decoration in the weaving on the body, however, a bright red ring is still clearly visible on the base.
Narrative
The donor inherited this container from her uncle who lived in Everett, Washington.
