A chief's chest, such as this one, was used to store the treasured emblems of his rank: his dancing blankets, headdresses, and the heraldic emblems of the lineage. It also served as a sort of throne or seat on state occasions. Small chests of similar form held shaman's equipment or a chief's ceremonial material, and finally served as a coffin for his cremated remains. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)
