Red cedar bentwood box with abalone shell inlay on the lid. 

Dragonfly
"The Philosopher"

Dragonflies symbolize an ever-changing spirit, able to see through life's illusions, provoking deep thought and compassion.

Shain Jackson is a Coast Salish artist from the First Nation community of Sechelt. He is also a lawyer who has represented Indigenous communities throughout British Columbia. 

In British Columbia, First Nations Peoples used these unique and beautifully adorned traditional containers to store their most precious possessions. Aside from their decor, one of the aspects distinguishing the Bentwood Box from other wooden boxes lies in its construction. The body of the container is created using only a single piece of Western Red Cedar. The cedar is grooved on the corners and thoroughly steamed in order to painstakingly bend the piece into what you see before you. 

Box measures 3.5" in width and length, and 2.5" in height. 

The wood grain varies on each piece and may not appear exactly as pictured. 

Designed and made in Canada
