Passamaquoddy Clara Keezer Natural Ash Braided Sweetgrass Basket
Out of a New York state basket collection comes this masterful black ash and sweetgrass basket made in 1998 by NEA National Heritage Fellow Clara Keezer. Keezer was one of the long-time Wabanaki who kept the art of basket making alive, making it possible for the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance to create an apprenticeship program for younger weaver.
Clara Keezer made many baskes with bright colors. She would also make baskets in their natural black ash and sweetgrass states, baskets that some collectors say represent the purest type of weaving. This basket is a prime example of one of her undyed items. Both the ash and the sweetgrass have developed a golden patina over time.
6 inches diameter x 6 1/2 inches high.
