Two handmade Yup’ik coiled-grass baskets with fitted knobbed lids and red and purple geometric accents. One has a full, rounded body, while the smaller narrows into an urn-like profile. Their contrasting silhouettes and repeated colored details make a pleasing display pair while allowing the fine coiled construction to remain visible. Wear and fraying are present at the larger lid’s knob. Larger approximately 6" in diameter x 7.5" high.
