Nuu-Chah-Nulth Dome Lidded Figural Basket

This is a very well woven Nuu-Chah-Nulth basket with a domed lid and a number of different figures on it. The colors are bright. My favorite scene is a large black whale with a wide open mouth chasing four smaller orange fish who look like they enjoy the chase. It also has birds and canoes on the lid. This is a really wonderful piece and will be a pleasure to own and look at. H. 3 ⅛"; D. 3 ⅜" c.1980 Sold #9023
