Wooden box with lid
John F.C. Johnson (Contributor)
John Johnson: Bentwood boxes, you can see the marks where they cut the wood before steaming where they then bent the wood to make the box. Nuuciq was a large trading post where Tlingit, Athabascan and Eyak communities came to trade. So these objects should be looked at with more detail to find out where they were truly from.
