Penobscot Butch Phillips Etched Birch Bark Container
Penobscot artist Butch Phillips makes canoes and other items from birch bark. This container is a fine example of his work, with its fine craftsmanship as well as etched design.
Phillips cylindrical container is etched with traditional Wabanaki designs, including double curves, willow leaves (incorrectly referred to as fleur-de-lis previously), and even a small rabbit smoking a pipe. The outside edge of the cover is decorated with flowers and vines, a typical Woodlands Indian theme. The double curves and other shapes have four sides, referring to the four tribes of the Wabanaki confederacy: Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, Micmac, and Maliseet.
