Description/Inspiration:
This is a cedar lined box. My inspiration for this box is reminiscent of dancers that I saw this summer at the Six Nations and Rama Powwows. It would be a wonderful box to hold precious items. This would be great to hold regalia in the presence of cedar medicine. I really enjoyed painting this box, the smell of the cedar made me feel like my ancestors were with me. I painted this while I thought good things and I've smudged it.
