Commentary
An ornate lidded basket, which may have been inspired by the traditional tobacco or trinket basket, this example could have been made for the tourist trade. Originally, lids were simply small baskets that were inverted over the apertures of larger baskets. Decorated with traditional materials and techniques in its manufacture. -from the Native American Art from the Permanent Collection catalog, 1979
