Beautifully Hand Crafted Authentic & Signed Dene Baskets & Canoe
Description : 02 Apr, 2023
**Fantastic Gift Idea** I have for sale a large lot of 3 vintage gorgeous, well made, and handcrafted birch bark & porcupine quill baskets and a canoe by Acho Dene Native Crafts. You won't find too many of these out there. Very unique and rare. *If this ad is up, then they are available.
Very unique items, handcrafted & signed by each of the 4 artists themselves from Fort Laird, Northwest Territories. Dene baskets are handmade by Dene women from locally harvested birch bark, hand stitched with dyed porcupine quills and stitched together using spruce root & sinew. The baskets have been made for centuries. Traditionally, these lightweight but sturdy baskets were used for picking berries, storing tools, food, carrying water, and cooking. Today, they are considered collector's items and are highly valued throughout the north. You can truly see the maker's dedication, quality, and craftsmanship in these pieces that took many hours to make.
Included in this lot (can be purchased individually or as a lot/lot is preferred):
Basket #1 - a pail shaped birch bark & porcupine quill basket with sewn in red flowers (couple of quills missing) - this piece is signed es with a certificate of authentication from Laura Nande - this beautiful basket is 5.5" wide by 4" high Asking $95
Basket #2 - a second pail shaped birch bark & porcupine quill basket with sewn in clover shaped red flowers - this piece is signed es with a certificate of authentication from Yvonne Nande - this other beautiful basket is 5.5" wide by 4" high Asking $125
Basket #3 - a large oval shaped birch bark & porcupine quill fruit basket with sewn in white flowers - this piece is signed es with a certificate of authentication from Celine Edda - this gorgeous oval fruit basket is 12" long by 9.25" wide by 4" high Asking $160
Canoe - a truly fantastic, well made birch bark canoe with a 2 piece stand and an oar - this canoe is signed at the bottom of the canoe by the artist Laura Berreault - this canoe measures 16.5" long by 4.75" wide by 5.5" high on the stand Asking $225
If you appreciated well made hand crafted art, you don't want to miss out on this rare and unique lot. If purchasing individually, prices are as marked. If you would like to purchase the lot, I'm asking $525 for all 4 pieces. Located in Hamilton East. Shipping is available at an extra charge. Thank you for looking. Angelo
