    Description

    Late 1800s to early 1900s
    Quileute
    basket from the Quileute people, La Push, coastal Washington State.
    The bottom has plaiting with strips of cedar bark that are split into warps up the side of the basket, with the sides woven with twining and strips of cedar bark, some dyed red.  The top has a braided and wrapped scalloped rim.
    In very good condition, showing some age-related wear (see pictures). The basket is 3 1/2 inches tall (9 cm), with a 6 inch top diameter (15 cm).  This is a very nice Quileute basket, with very few existing from this period.
    Research Note
    :  The design elements of this basket are similar to those seen in other Northwest Coast, First Nations Coastal Canada baskets - plaited cedar strip bottom seen in Makah and Nuu-Chah-Nulth (Nootka) baskets, scalloped rim and cedar strips on Haida baskets, Tsimshian baskets woven with cedar bark strips, twining and braided rim.
