Vintage Porcupine Quill Birch Bark Box with Maple Leaf Motif Anishinaabe au gratin pan Everything is in very goodThis vintage porcupine quilldecorated birch bark box is a finely made example of Woodland Indigenous craft tradition, most likely Anishinaabe Ojibwe. The cylindrical form is built from hand cut birch bark panels, stitched and decorated with a woven sweetgrass band at the centre.
