Incredible Cowlitz basket, possibly made by Mary Kiona. Imbricated baskets originated in the area of western Washington, with more coils to the inch, more stitches in the same space, and also more beautiful designs than those from the eastern slope tribes. This twined utility burden basket is typical of the style made for the basket maker’s own use.
