Basket
Western Eskimo coiled, lidded basket. Carefully coiled of wild lyme grass, this piece has polychrome check patterns that are clustered to form a similar geometric shape. The flat bottom of the piece flares to form gently curving sides which are nicely complimented by the tall lid. The colors of the design material are mostly dark purple, green, and red.
