Description

Leather pennant with two bookmarks. The pennant (a) has a caricature sketch of an indigenous American tending a pot over a fire next to a tent, on the shores of a lake. There is a canoe on the lake, and mountains on the far shore. Stamped on the the narrowest end of the pennant are the words, "WILLOUGHBY LAKE, VT." The bookmarks (b, c) are made of thin pieces of ash with a circle of woven sweetgrass at the top to mimic a flower. One bookmark (b) has green splits and the other (c) has multicolored splints of alternating blue, green, yellow, and red. They have been threaded through to openings on the widest side of the pennant.
