Featured in this lot is this Chippewa birch and porcupine quill woven box circa 1910-30s. The art of decorating items with porcupine quills is unique to North America. The Native peoples living in the Great Lakes area were doing quill work before the first European contact in 1615. Much sought after, this work was encouraged by French fur traders these Native American peoples-- mostly the Ottawa and Chippewa-- began to place quill decorations on birch bark boxes. In modern times quill work on birch bark boxes is well known and much sought after and highly prized Native American art. This basket is in fair condition, the boxes integrity is good with the lid easily removed. The birch is on the top, bottom and sides, while the porcupine quill work is featured around the outside area and top section of the lid. Slight damage to quill work on sides of box, but no major signs of damage noted. The box measures 3 1/4" L x 3 1/8" W x 2 1/4" H and weighs under 6 ounces.
