Maine Historical Society
As Native and non-Native cultures interacted, Wabanaki artists created new and exciting designs to meet the tourist market, including glove boxes, sewing accessories, powder dispensers, and wall pockets—sometimes in fanciful shapes like acorns and strawberries.
This basket was created in the shape of a hat, and is a powder dispenser, complete with a puff inside.
