Orange aniline dye is intense inside and has a perfect patina outside on top. The use of braided sweetgrass throughout is a distinguishing feature of the earliest type. The black ash used for the fine splints is plaited and also used for the delicate rim work. These baskets were made in the interior region of Maine then brought to the coast to sell to tourists during the summer. The Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor, Maine is a particularly great place to visit and understand the history of this trade.Measures approximately 2.5” x 7.5” x 10”. Circa 1920.
