Steam bent, guaranteed authentic - and simply beautiful
Lidded Bentwood Box, WOLF design by Kwakiutl native artist Sarah Daniels (nee Robertson) from Kingcome Inlet, BC.
As always in Sarah's art, deep cuts, beautiful design, showing the full wolf on each side. The wood is bent around the corners. These boxes are bent with steam, so much work is going into these. Lid and base are left natural. Signed underneath the base. Sarah always leaves a few pencil marks on the inside of the box and the lid - it just shows and proofs that it's fully hand crafted, hand carved and hand painted. The pencil marks can easy be removed if you want to (rubber) but I'll leave that up to you. A really marvelous piece of native American art from the Pacific Northwest coast, Vancouver Island.
Measurements total: 13 1/2" x 7" x 7 1/2", inside opening 10 1/2" x 5"
