Description

Large, circular, woven cedar basket with lid. The basket is round at the base and flares out toward the shoulder, narrowing again toward the rim. Basket is covered in a checkerboard imbrication in light brown with a large entwined diamond motif imbricated over top. Two twisted hide handles sit at the shoulder. The lid is flat and attached to the basket by a hide “hinge” at the rear, with two hide thongs at the front to tie the basket shut. The lid is decorated with a large dark brown imbricated diamond.
