Box1928.965

Painted wooden box, which the catalogue card notes as a fine specimen . The top of the box has operculum shells set in three groups of six. These shells were originally identified as Cariboo teeth but later corrected by Paul Sant Cassia (081986) to be operculum. The box has substantial painting on two sides, and simple enclosed side profile face designs with thin vertical lines following the corners on the other two. The substantial designs are slightly different on each side, one having black cross-hatching. The designs have thin formlines supported by red secondary lines which are distanced and positioned to give the painting an overall lightness.; Good
