Pretty Pair of Miniature Makah/Nootka Northwest Coast Native Sweet Grass Baskets alabeije owl and a few small tearsI purchased these two little baskets separately, but they're both Makah Nootka, Northwest Coast Native, and I like the formal dynamic between the two one opening to the sky, the other with a downward angling lid with topple at center. The lidded one will nest inside the other, or the latter turned upside down will make a nice pedestal for the former. The open one is much older, late 19th early 20th c. I believe; the lidded one 2nd half 20th c. Open
