The bottom of this box is made from spruce and the sides, which are bent from a single plank, of yellow cedar. The pieces are fastened together with nails and wooden pegs. A carved figure, shown lying on its back with its hands against its abdomen, is on the cover. This figure represents a shaman lying on a burial platform. The box was made by Kadoucha and painted by Maggie. The black, green, and red-brown designs painted on the sides represent a whale and a beaver.
