Category: Ethnographic Objects

A traditional hand-woven Alaskan coiled grass basket with lid, possibly in a style of Inuit origin, which features a simple pattern of alternating colored rings in red and green. 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 4.25" tall.
