Passamaquoddy Weaver Theresa Neptune Gardner Wabanaki Round Basket Purple

From 2003 comes this beautifully colored basket with a diagonal weave and braided sweetgrass.

The sisters maintained the art of basket making among the Wabanaki people of Maine through the years when many others abandoned it. As a result, they became active members of the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance and lived to see a revival of their beloved art.

The basket is in excellent condition and still has the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance tag attached.
