Fragment: Basketry

About this object

Narrative

This basketry may be of Sto:lo origin, since it combines both the root bundles of the Nlaka'pamux and the slat technique of the Stl'atl'imx.

Physical description

Two, small, rectangular shaped, coiled cedar root basket rim fragments (parts a-b). Foundations are visible, cedar wood slat is used for the distal portion and cedar root foundation is used for the overcast rim on the proximal portion of both. One piece (a) is longer than the other (b).
