Cherokee, (1936-1999), a carved and polychromed box, of rectangular form with bombe sides, worked with formline animals on each face, apparently unsigned.
length 25in, width 14 1/2in

Good condition overall with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks and minor cihps commensurate with age and handling. Some losses to the pigment commensurate with age and material (primarily in the blue and green). One of the inlaid shells with losses. A handful of scattered hairline cracks. An approximately 1in crack in the lower corner of one of the long faces. A few spots of soiling on the underside. An area of pigment transfer on the base of one of the longer faces.
