Pretty Pair of Miniature Makah/Nootka Northwest Coast Native Sweet Grass Baskets emeries The gilding obviously is well

Pretty Pair of Miniature Makah/Nootka Northwest Coast Native Sweet Grass Baskets emeries The gilding obviously is wellI 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.

I believe; the lidded one 2nd half 20th c. Open
