Eastern Woodlands Splint Baskets

Eastern Woodlands Splint Baskets

Two Native American Eastern Woodlands splint baskets with matching decoration. Believed to be Algonquin made. The larger one is made with wooden legs, an unusual feature shared by some early wool drying baskets, and probably dates to the early 20th century. It stands 6" high on the legs and measures 13 ¾"L x 10 ¾"W. The smaller one is square, measuring 9 ¾" along each side, and is 3 ¾" high. It dates to the late 19th century. Both baskets have minor splint losses. (CJ-31)
