1900 Nootka Northwest Coast Lidded Basket, Sea Wolf Motif, Red Woven Design

About the Item

This exquisite lidded basket, crafted by the Nootka tribe of the Northwest Coast around 1900, features a striking red Sea Wolf motif. Known for their skillful weaving traditions, the Nootka people used natural materials to create baskets that were both functional and artistic. This basket's intricate design showcases the vibrant red tones of the Sea Wolf, a significant figure in Nootka mythology, symbolizing strength and transformation. The basket measures 3 ½ inches in height and 5 ½ inches in diameter, making it a perfect example of traditional Nootka craftsmanship. The combination of the vivid design and masterful weaving techniques makes this piece a remarkable addition to any collection of Native American art, particularly for those interested in the artistry of the Northwest Coast tribes.
