content: Two circular twilled baskets with lids; smaller one found stored inside the larger one; tag inside in hand of WCS: "basket = Potlatch gift, Alert Bay, ca. 1982 (along w miniature Nootka basket and circular tin tray w floral design)". Note: smaller basket has canoe/whale hunting design very similar to E437829 (WCS 400, identified as Makah), received some years previously. It is being catalogued as Nootka? based on the accompanying note, although Alert Bay is not in traditional Nootka/Nuu-chah-nulth territory (local First Nations people at Alert Bay are Kwakwaka'wakw). A small piece of metal was found inside the smaller basket.
