Description

Rectangular woven cedar basket, with flat slightly oval lid (part b) that fits tightly inside the rim. The basket is made of cedar slats wrapped with cedar root, cherry bark (red and black) and grass imbrication designs on all sides and lid. The lid has eight separate 'butterfly' designs; the long sides have a large central design surrounded by four small crosses, while each end repeats the main design. The central design is a widened star-like design with four side points, with wider, squared-off top and bottom points. The lid has a short lip; the base of the basket is almost flat.
