Description:
Super nice 19th century Native American Indian quill decorated birch bark box. This is a very large size box measuring 8 5/8” w x 5 1/8”h x 6 ˝” deep. The interior is wood as you know and the exterior cover is of birch bark and then fully decorated in porcupine quills. The box has an unusual decoration - all along the outside lid edge you can see that every other square is decorated in quills. The top of the lid is also fully decorated with some spots (actually quite a few spots) of missing quill work. It makes sense because this box dates from the last half of the 19th century. It is very hard to notice the quill lost because the design is so full and so complicated but other wise in very good condition and structurally sound. It would make a dynamite addition to your American Indian basket collection.
