Northwest Coast Baskets
 | ||
Salish handled bag from the Pacific NW, dating from around 1910. This purse is in excellent condition with minor wear to one of the handles. Measuring 10 inches by 7 inches, the woven handles come 7 inches up from the opening.
What a beautiful, large, tightly-woven burden basket this is. Probably is Coast Salish, as it is coiled cedar bark, likely was used as a gathering basket, probably for clams. It is four-sided with rounded corners.
