dc.descriptionLOWER COLUMBIA: The basket in the foreground (NA 26) is one of the few well-documented objects in Willamette's collection and one of the rarest because of its age. It was given to the Rev. J.L. Parrish, a missionary and early trustee of the University, in the early 1840s by the Clatsop Indians on the Oregon coast. Three rows of elk are topped by a row of birds believed to represent hell divers, a type of grebe. The tear in the rim allows us to better see how different decorative elements contribute to the basket's design.
