Wabanaki Sweetgrass Basket Pin Cushion Japanese bronze The whole thing fits perfectly

The whole thing fits perfectly over one's head and face

The matte green

but it could be polished further

The interior and underside of the box are enameled a terrific bright blue

They’ve definitely seen some coffees — and perhaps some cocktail hours as well - but I find them all the more endearing for the wear

Wabanaki Sweetgrass Basket Pin Cushion Japanese bronze The whole thing fits perfectlyI'm becoming a sucker for a sweet pin cushion, in addition to a nice Northeast Coast Native basket, so of course I love this little combination of the two! I believe this one dates to the early 20th century, with the basket woven of sweet grass on a naturally green dyed splint ash structure and the pin cushion a rosy pink velvet. It has seen some use, with small holes in the velvet, but has plenty of years of use in it yet. 2 3 4" diameter x 1 3 8"
