NameCedar Bent Wood Chest (Haida 1850)
DescriptionYellow and Red Cedar. The bentwood box as a holder of ideas, as well as of material goods, is dramatically expressed by storage chests such as this one. The carved and painted compositions are at once highly stylised and infinitely varied. They belong to a visual tradition that has persisted for centuries, yet they also reveal the hand of individual painters who helped to shape this complex art.
