19th C Tlingit red corner bentwood box

Found on eBay misidentified as an old country box - found in Connecticut.  It is a cedar, bentwood box made from one piece of wood with an added base - it has the original lid with incised lines and remnants of old red paint.  The inside has old hand tool marks and irregular contours.  It is 13 by 13 inches square and 14 inches tall.  In remarkable condition.
