Basket- Birchbark with Lid

This fabulous Basket- Birchbark with Lid Container features Floral etchings around the container and the cover.  The artist used spruce root to hold the container together. They made the cover with two pieces of Birchbark. The cover is very sturdy and you can take it completely off the container.  The artist attached the bottom with Imitation Sinew for extra sturdiness.  A spruce branch around the top  adds stability to the container.  A piece of Deerskin Leather Lacing serves as a carrying handle.

This container stands 16 inches tall and measures 11.5 inches in diameter.  It remains in very good condition and displays beautifully.

One of a Kind!

Birchbark containers are traditional containers made from the bark of birch trees. They are typically used by Indigenous people in North America for storing and transporting food, clothing, and other items.
