A woven vase form made by a St'at'imc (Lillooet) weaver, displayed at the UBC Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver. The vase shape shows how Interior Salish weavers of the early twentieth century adapted ancestral techniques to forms that appealed to buyers, keeping the craft economically alive through a period of intense colonial pressure. The St'at'imc tradition is closely related to Secwepemc basketry.
