Up for your consideration is a beautiful, vintage Native American lidded miniature trinket or button basket. This finely crafted piece features a traditional combination of hand-woven black ash splints and braided sweetgrass accents, topped with a distinctive woven loop handle on the fitted lid.

Based on the materials and construction, this piece is consistent with the Woodland / Great Lakes regional style, such as those made by the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi) or Wabanaki peoples. These small "fancy baskets" were historically popular as trade items, sewing baskets, or keepsakes.
