Butterflies represent beauty in its purest form, able to transcend the physical, adored by all.
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.
