Traditionally made from cedar, bulge boxes are carved from a solid block of wood, unlike traditional bentwood boxes, which are crafted by steaming and bending a single plank. They have served practical purposes in everyday life, providing storage for food, blankets, tools, regalia, and other treasured belongings, as well as being used for ceremonial purposes. Often adorned with carved or painted designs, bulge boxes bring together functional craftsmanship and artistic expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box measures approximately 9 inches or 22 3\/4 centimeters long, 4 3\/4 inches or 12 centimeters wide, and 3 5\/8 inches or 9 1\/4 centimeters high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"XSq4R KI3fJ\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-hveid=\"CAIIAAgACBUQAA\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yhAwj\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sfc-inited=\"2\"\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moy Sutherland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67780349231419,"sku":"Bulge Box by Moy Sutherland","price":3780.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/2931\/files\/BulgeBox2.jpg?v=1792708880","url":"https:\/\/spiritsofthewestcoast.com\/en-gb\/products\/bulge-box","provider":"Spirits of the West Coast Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
