Notes
From card: "In natural color with overlaid designs forming [right-facing] swastika in natural color; encircled by two narrow bands in lavender berry juice stain; main elements of cedar bark."Note: The swastika is usually considered a non-traditional Northwest Coast basket design symbol. It was popular in the early 20th century in Europe and North America as a good luck symbol but disappeared from use after it became negatively viewed because of its association with the Nazi party.
