**Item Title:** Antique Northeast Native American Wabanaki Sewing Basket - Sweetgrass & Black Ash Splint **Description:**Stunning authentic antique Northeast Native American (Wabanaki / Northeast Woodland culture, likely Penobscot or Passamaquoddy) lidded flat sewing or trinket basket. This exceptional piece dates from the late 19th Century to early 20th Century (circa 1890–1930). The basket is masterfully hand-constructed utilizing traditional alternating rows of coiled, aromatic sweetgrass and flat brown ash wood splints. The structural layout radiates flawlessly from a central "starburst" medallion on both the lid and the base. **Color & Preservation Highlight:**While the exterior top and sides have aged gracefully over the decades to a warm, mellow golden-brown patina, the interior and the exterior underside have been shielded from light exposure. As a result, the original green aniline dye remains incredibly rich, vibrant, and saturated, showcasing an intense green starburst and bullseye design. **Condition Details:*** Excellent antique condition overall with beautiful structural integrity.* The weave is tight, uniform, and stable. * Free from notable breaks, major frayed loops, or loose binding. * Lid fits securely. * Please inspect all photos closely to review the exact condition and brilliant color preservation
