Cultural Narrative: 

This one is corn husk, it has a lid and a trading cloth around the edges on top, the red part. Then the beads on top, they are a little chipped, looks like choke cherries. If it is tåxws (dog bane) it is kind of light. Looks like it started out as a bag. Arlita Rhoan

Those are using size eleven beads, it's pretty small. Somebody has lots of time on their hands for this. Looks like twine on the bottom. Maxine Switzler
