Birch bark basket with quillwork

Beautifully designed and executed, this birch bark basket is by Barry Dana, an ex-chief of the Penobscot tribe and a respected guide, teacher, and lecturer.

This basket has some wonderful texture in a few spots. Porcupine quills woven on the cover; sweetgrass braid around the edge. Stitched with spruce root.
