Makah baskets very similar to this one

Pyrograph Sign, "May All Your Troubles End in Smoke" with Match Striker drawing of T but with its solid blackI'm pretty taken with this antique wooden sign decorated with pyrography, signed (burned) on the back with the initials of its maker (W. F. G) and the year 1906.

I especially love the os inside of os, like smoke
