Vintage Porcupine Quill Birch Bark Box with Maple Leaf Motif Anishinaabe toffee tin Label: D&G Dolce and GabbanaThis vintage porcupine quilldecorated birch bark box is a finely made example of Woodland Indigenous craft tradition, most likely Anishinaabe Ojibwe. The cylindrical form is built from hand cut birch bark panels, stitched and decorated with a woven sweetgrass band at the centre. The lid features a maple leaf motif, executed in naturally dyed porcupine quills arranged with symmetry. Porcupine quillwork predates beadwork in many Indigenous cultures and
