Nesting Boxes

Nest of 7 graduated oval boxes fashioned from yellow birch with carved decorations, with the smallest being only about an inch long and ½" wide, then increasing up to apprx. 4" in length and 2 ½" in width. There are lids for all but the smallest. Found in Maine and probably Native American made. Sold to us as spruce gum boxes, but we cannot document that attribution and they are not in the traditional book-style form. Exceptional craftsmanship. Circa early 20th century.  (CH-17)
