Makah Lidded Basket

This is one of those Makah baskets whose colors are as deep and beautiful as they were at the time the basket was woven. The design is simple but effective. The body has a red band near the bottom and a dark purplish blue narrow zigzag band in the middle which is framed by a red band around the edge of the lid. The lid repeats the red band but has a dark purplish-blue saw tooth band near the edge. The basket is in very good condition.
