Featured in this lot is this Pacific Northwest painted Haida box circa late 1900s. A Pacific Northwest Haida box is a particular kind of artistic container that comes from the native Haida people, who live along North America's Pacific Northwest coast. They are largely from the Haida Gwaii archipelago, which is off the coast of British Columbia. The Haida people are well-known for their varied artistic traditions and rich cultural legacy. The exquisitely carved Haida boxes are frequently constructed from a single piece of wood, usually red or yellow cedar. Characterized by their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, these boxes are adorned with intricate and symbolic designs that often depict Haida mythology, legends, or family crests. In Haida culture, these boxes have multiple uses: they can be used to store priceless belongings, preserve ceremonial objects, or even hold ceremonial offerings. They are treasured heirlooms that are frequently handed down through the generations and are seen as significant symbols of wealth and prestige in the community. The Haida box shows images of an eagle face with colors of red and black throughout all four sides. The top shows an eagle face carving in a black box. The interior of the box is painted all black. The box shows good condition overall with some slight wear but no signs of obvious damage is present. The box measures 7 13/16" L x 7 13/16" W x 4 15/16" H and weighs 2 pounds.
