Bowl89.52.34

This bowl is carved with particularly elegant bands of wave patterns, which encircle it just beneath the rim and frame rectangular panels on both ends. The panels and the curved base are each carved with a face characterized by a broad, crescent-shaped brow and deeply underscored eyes. The simple, circular faces resemble those found in the patterns of Wasco/Wishram baskets.

Bowl87.88.67

Several tribes living along the middle Columbia River, including the Wasco, made bowls and other objects from mountain sheep horns. Pieces of horn were steamed until soft, spread open, and then formed into a shape with raised ends and flaring sides. The bowls are decorated with a combination of carved geometric shapes, zigzag lines, and round human faces.
