Antique Folk Art Ash + Crate Basket Mi'kmaq / Passamaquoddy Made Sewing Box, Circa Early 20th Century. The base of this box was crafted from repurposed wood crate material with a fancy curl weave applied to the surface. The fine "porcupine curl" pattern was executed in ash splint with remnants of a silk ribbon interlaced within the weave. A delicately carved knob allows for the hinged lid to lift, revealing a seafoam green cotton-lined interior. The original crate branding is visible on the underside of the box. Unsigned.
