- HV974.119.1
- Description
- Trapezoidal shaped, coiled cedar root basket with cedar slat foundation. Finished with an overcast rim with root foundation. Design elements missing from one side of the basket, which is uncommon but has been seen on cradles from the Mount Currie area (Interior Salish: Lil'wat). It was perhaps the side that rests on the wearer's back. Steeply angled sides.
- Coast Salish: Sḵwx̱wú7mesh? Interior Salish: Stl’atl’imx: Lil’wat?
- Object History
- The donor reported that the baskets were traded in the early 1920s for clothes by the donor's mother, who lived in North Vancouver. Her mother told her the "Capilano Indians" used to go door to door with their baskets in North Vancouver.
- Design elements missing from one side of the basket – possibly the side that would have rested against the owner’s back.
- Steeply angled sides keep berries from crushing those at bottom of basket. Work baskets have sides that are more rounded.
- Baskets like these were used with a woven tumpline (wool strap) that was worn against the forehead, while basket was carried on back.
