- Lot Description
East Asia, Russia, Siberia region & Mongolia, ca. mid to late 20th century CE. A group of four traditional birch bark storage containers from crafted in a style associated with the region's artisans. These cylindrical boxes are constructed from tightly coiled and intricately tooled birch bark, with three smaller examples featuring wooden lids topped with turned knobs. The largest container, originally intended as a bread or storage basket, has a wide oval form and a particle board base - an adaptation for commercial sale. All pieces exhibit characteristic warm tones and natural grain, with decorative borders burned or stamped into the surface. Cyrillic-script artisan signatures and several "Made in Russia" stickers on the bases confirm these as workshop items likely produced for museum gift shops or cultural outlets. This style of basket is commonly made by nomadic Mongolian, Northern China, and Siberians. Size of largest: 13.5" L x 8" W x 5" H (34.3 cm x 20.3 cm x 12.7 cm); smallest: 2" W x 3.5" H (5.1 cm x 8.9 cm)
Provenance: Ralph T. Coe Center for the Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA; ex-Ralph T. Coe personal collection acquired in the 1990s.
