Antique Tlingit Spruce Root Basket. Fancy Decoration.




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:4302035Handmade: Yes
Provenance: From our collectionCountry/Region of Manufacture: United States
Origin: Alaska
Original Description:
I have rarely seen one of these undamaged.   Very finely woven by a Tlingit expert many years ago - we have had it for 40 years and it was an antique when we bought it. Several decoration techniques - Imbrication, false embroidery among them.  Neither shows on the inside.   
It feels delicate, but it has lasted a hundred years.  I think it should be misted before handling after it has sat for a long time, and I wouldn't handle it by the edges.  But... it is a real prize for any collection and you will be proud to have it.   6" high,   7" diameter
