Salish Box
Artist Unknown
About a month ago I was visiting a friend in Birken, and he was given this gift from a mutual friend in Mount Currie. Our mutual friend Ken purchased the box as a gift from a native carver from the Mount Currie Band.
However he did not remember the name of the carver, which is a shame as it would be nice to give credit where credit is due.
The box appears to be made of pine, and I just love the intricate designs on the box and the masterful manner in which the designs are painted on the box.
The cover depicts a Thunderbird design and for me is the best part of the box which is a modern day representation of Salish Art.
