This is a vibrant Nuu-chah-nulth basket by Mabel Taylor. It has wonderful visual scene of different types of hunting, this includes an 2 whales, hunting party in there boat and an eagle. It is in very good condition without any kind of repairs the only thing is on the lid it has bowed inwards on one side. It measures 2 1/2" across x 2 1/4" tall. There is a small note in side that tells the maker and were they bought it. I have shown in a photo.Mabel (Mable) Taylor -(1901-1984), member of the Tseshaht tribe, was originally from Ditidaht, but lived much of her life at Polly's Point. Mabel was a renowned basket-maker and teacher of the basket weaving, and her baskets can be found in museums and private collections around the world. She has also been interviewed about her process, which has led to inclusions in several books and a full length interview with John Gogol in his magazine American Indian Basketry,She often taught the entire process, from the collection of materials ( grasses and cedar bark) to the dying and weaving of the basket. She is remembered for the stories she would tell and her warm sense of humor.Her work appears in private collections and several museums, including the British Museum.
