Description: This round basket is 4.5" in diameter at middle of the basket (largest diameter). It is 4.5" high including the ring handle. Pam called these 3 Sisters Basket because the curls were dyed in the favorite colors of herself and her 2 sisters. Pam made 3 sisters baskets several years ago. I was thrilled when she said she would make more! Made of brown ash splints, traditional material of Maine and Eastern Canadian Indian basketmakers, with plain tidal sweetgrass binding the rims of the basket and the lid and finely, tightly braided tidal sweetgrass used for most of the weavers on the lid for this basket. Pam adds a round ash splint wrapped handle to the lid. Pam has signed and dated the basket on the outside of the inner basket rim "Pam o" "2022" and she has added her maker's mark; a sweet fern unfurling into a turtle - Pam is of the Penobscot Turtle Clan. Pam's Penobscot name is outdusis which means "little pathway". Pam uses some tools; splint gauges, basket molds etc that belonged to her great-grandmother, ssipsis means "little bird" in THE Penobscot language).
