A lovely example of the work of NEA National Heritage Fellow Clara Keezer from 1993. Keezer was one of the long-time Wabanaki who kept the art of basket making alive, making it possible for the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance to create an apprenticeship program for younger weaver.
The purple dyes have held up well with the exception of the top of the cover, which is faded. Otherwise, the basket is in near-perfect condition.
