Northeast Coast Native Basketry Sewing Scissors Holder penny covered from the woman gathering laundry

from the woman gathering laundry off the line

this one with a lovely dark stain and slightly phallic silhouette

tightly knotted at their necks

this young man seems wonderfully at ease

There are irregularities original to its making
