Two traditional hand-woven Yup'ik Yup'ik beach rye grass items, including one mat and one shallow bowl, both possibly in a style of Inuit origin. The mat features a simple pattern of alternating red and green concentric circles divided by geometric cross shapes between the lines, and the shallow bowl features a more complex pattern of concentric green circles with a yellow circle near the center and geometric cross shapes separating the green lines. Largest item measures approximately 11" in diameter.
