à la fois boîte et appui-tête, de très belles lignes et proportions. A la forme fuselée de la boîte répond la courbe profondément incurvée du linteau, épousant la forme de la nuque. Une large bande d'écorce est fixée sur le pourtour, créant une très belle opposition entre les teintes brunes du couvercle et caramel du réceptacle.
Provenance
William B. Moore, Los Angeles
Condition
Wear consistent with age and use within the culture.
