- A flat bottomed birchbark, cylindrical box with snug lid fitting flange. Walls are sturdy bark sewn and glued to base and both box and lid are lined with finer bark. Rim of box and lid are both ringed with grass sewn to them. Wall of box is quilled, quills extending over bottom to base.

Very nicely done.
