Description

Rectangular-bottomed birchbark container with straight, medium rims. The rim is consolidated by a wooden strip held in place by spruce roots. Spruce root seams on the sides. Checked cotton strap held in place by a spruce root strip on each side.
Used for many years by Lena as a pipe bag when she went into the woods. A pipe was given to Mrs. Webber by Lena because she thought the basket and pipe went hand in hand.
