Description

Incomplete strawberry basket with mold

Context

Wiseman comments: This was purchased from an antique dealer, who I trust, bought it from a yard sale in Barnstead, NH. No more is known of the provenance. The red basket preform is an obvious incomplete “strawberry” basket sill tightly clinging to its softwood mold. It was an important purchase in that there are scores of these in-progress baskets on their mold from better known Haudenosaunee and Wabanaki basket making areas, and this one was at least in the American Abenaki area for a long time.
