Painting and relief carving in the Coast Salish area is geometric - circles, chevrons, crescents, rows of dots, triangles and T-shapes.
These ancient symbols and enduring beauty can be yours when you purchase one of these beautiful hand crafted pieces of jewelry. Our stock is always changing, but our many artists and artisans are prepared to make something on order for you should you not see what you are looking for in the store. We do carry some manufactured jewelry that is made of other metals, however most of the jewelry is made of silver and/or gold.
Boxes were used to store food stuffs, clothing, regalia and ritual paraphernalia such as rattles and whistles. Some boxes were simply made of bent sheets of cedar bark sewn at the corners and base to provide disposable containers for trade items, while others were more substantial and durable bentwood boxes.
