This one has tighter coiling. I’ve never seen anything coiled as tightly around the Yakama area. You can pick it up with both hands. It might have been made as a gift. A patron may have made that, asked for it to be made too. Vivian Adams
I know it has some significance. Blue diamonds. This looks like one of our baskets because of the design. I was telling Marlene Simlaw, “it must have had some kind of significance with these diamonds...It must have been, it had to been-a really special.” I mean for all the work on the top and altogether. That’s a beautiful piece. Jolena Tillequots
