Description:

Northern Coast Salish slat coiled basket, oval in shape.  Lidded.  Large zigzag motif on wall of basket in red and yellow.  Lid motif consists of single stitches imbricated in red to form a large X .   The X is bracketed by a single band of colour on either side.  Lid rim motif: beaded  inclined lines (inclined to left) in blocks of red and yellow colour.  

 

Techniques: Slat coil construction.  A single row of bundle coil defines the boundary between the base and the walls.  A second row of bundle coil creates the inset to which the lid fitting is attached.
