Basket Lid
Physical description
Basket lid made of a slightly rounded, rectangular piece of birch bark. The top is densely covered in quills set in geometric patterns of primarily traingles with partial circles and diamonds, dyed in shades of brown with some remnants of green. Thin strips of bark are looped around the edges of the piece, holding in place long quills that create a decorative edging. The underside is undecorated.
