Bentwood Chest Panel3156/1 a-c

Set of three detached bentwood chest panels. Front and back panels have stylized imagery painted in black and red across entire surface. Cross-hatching can be seen in several areas. Several large stitches of cedar root can be seen along the right side of one panel. The shorter side panel shows four faint painted lines in a rust-red colour, running from bottom left corner upwards toward opposite side's midpoint. Faint suggestions of other lines above. On right edge are cracks where wood has been bent, and an undercut on the backside of the old bend. All three pieces have hanging hardware on the back.
