Due to the presence of Hong Kong cord on the basket, it dates to the late 1920s through the 1930s. Hong Kong cord was adopted as a labour-saving substitute for hand-twirled sweetgrass in structural roping, but its use was discontinued with the start of WWII (1940). Still, there is some sweetgrass at the bottom edge of the lid as well as to the top centre as a nod to tradition. The ash splint is dyed in a pink tone. It was made by a member of an East Coast Native American Indian tribe - Wabanaki, either Micmac, Pasamaquoddy or Penobscot. I do know that sweetgrass was considered sacred and used particularly by the Micmac, although the other Wabanaki tribes also used it. This lidded basket measures 6 1\/4” in diameter and about 4 1\/2” in height. I’m unsure of the intended purpose, but I assume that it was meant to hold sewing supplies. It is in very good condition - maybe slight fading to the colour at the top, but nothing pronounced. The feet appear to be more decorative than functional as the centre bottom is lower than the feet - the feet do inhibit the basket from tipping.
