A birch-bark container from the area by the river Severnaya Sosva.

This birch-bark container is made of a sheet of birch bark by sewing. The frame is supported by two wooden hoops, one of which is on the outside of the container and the other on the inside, flanging the mouth of the container. The bottom of the dish is decorated by scratching. The pattern in the middle of the bottom resembles a human or animal figure. The pattern is surrounded by a smaller repeating pattern. According to the information in the main catalogue, the box has had a lid. There is no precise information about where the container was made or used, but it presumably comes from the area near the river Severnaya Sosva.
