The mountains are a great ladder, stretching up and up to bridge the land and sky worlds. Artist and carver Andrea Wilbur Sigo (Squaxin Island) has taken this classic Coast Salish “Great Ladder” weaving design and reimagined it for her Great Ladder Pillow. "'The Great Ladder' is the entryway to the sky world: a world that is just as important to our people as the land world and the underwater world. The mountains are the ladder to this beautiful place; where our ancestors are watching over us and helping guide our choices."
This jacquard-woven pillow is made of 100% cotton, and feels similar to chenille with its soft nap. Andrea’s Great Ladder Pillow is bordered by a "Salish Fern" design woven in sky blue and cloud white, complementing the brown mountains of the central design. Perfect on its own, our Great Ladder Pillow also pairs perfectly with Andreas’s Star Net Pillow, which comes in a supportive lumbar size.
