Category: Ethnographic Objects

A traditional hand woven Alaskan coiled grass basket with handle and lid, possibly in a style of Yup’ik origin, which features a layered pattern of geometric shapes in orange, green, and purple. The underside of the lid has a lip woven along its edge, permitting the lid to form a relatively firm seal when put in place to keep any stored items secure, making this basket a practical form of storage as much as a decorative object. Item measures approximately 3.5" in diameter x 5.5" tall.
