This small storage box ... has the shape and markings of a ribbon seal, with inlays of white glass. Yup'ik men crafted small boxes-each one unique-to hold small tools, arrow points, mineral pigments, parts of masks, and other assorted items. Women stored needle cases, sinew and fiber thread, earrings, and other small things in their personal boxes. Some have sides made of steam-bent wood, while others (like this example) were shaped from a single block of wood.
