Basket

The design on this basket represents butterflies. Sto:lo basket maker Frieda George identifies this design as meaning everlasting life.

Discrete "butterfly" designs: red beaded wings and feelers, and black imbricated body staggered with partial forms of same design; wings only and bottom half of butterfly.
