Box

Large, rectangular box (Ka-gan) with lid made from cedar. Carved in low relief on the two long sides. The raised surfaces are painted black and red and most of the recessed areas are natural wood. The two ends are plain with bentwood corners painted red. All four sides are made from one large plank cut and bent to form three of the four corners. The fourth joint is fastened with metal nails and wooden pegs. The base is a large plank carved into a concave shape, thicker toward the edges. The exterior, lower edges are beveled, making the base wider at the bottom. The lid is plain and beveled similar to the base but wider at the top. Made by Tom Price of Skidegate.
