Two coiled grass baskets and a coordinating tray, each enlivened by contrasting geometric ornament. Bold black angular bands encircle the tall cylindrical basket, while red and black diagonal patterns follow the rounded lidded example. The latter has a raised, beaver-fur-trimmed lid grip set with a round walrus ivory button carved with a fish motif. Black and orange accents decorate the round tray. The cylindrical basket measures approximately 12" in diameter x 9" tall.
