Description: | The North American section of the Ethnographic Collection contains what appears to be one of the earliest objects to have been donated to the collection: a birch bark basket, of Algonquin, probably Cree, origin, acquired about 1728. It is made from a single piece of bark, stitched with porcupine quills and spruce root. There are also a carved horn spoon and an iron hook with a fibre thong, both of which are both attributed to the North West coast of America. | Subjects: | North America BARK BASKET HOOK non-western ethnography ETHNOGRAPHIC carved horn spoon | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Contributor: | University of St Andrews | Identifier: | ET:C25 | Language: | en-GB | Relation: | MC:C48 |
