A gorgeous museum quality Yup'ik coiled grass basket that goes beyond the customary stitching to include six braided rows eveningly spaced in groups of two. Basket also features polychrome accents at the shoulders and just below the woven finial, plus a series of embroidered floral accents around the sides, and further decorated with tufts of fur upon beaded dangles. Most certainly the work of artist, Pauline Klementson, from Nome, Alaska. Basket measures approximately 6" in diameter x 8.5" tall.
