Form: The box itself is a simple design, of 6 flat bark panels. On the lid, a single line of red quill borders the sides. A line of crosshatched white quills sections off the top-right corner and bottom-left corner. In the center is the image of flowers - a green stem splitting into 3 with a red bulb at the end of each, and leaves throughout. On the sides is a simple design of 3 diagonal red quills crossed by 2 green quills - this occurs 3 times on the front and back, and once on the sides. All edges of the box are wrapped in bands of sweet grass, bound by the black stitching which hold the box together. Along the top and front, an extra band of sweet grass forms a sort of tab and slot below, creating a clasp which holds the lid closed. The inside has a bark lining. 2.

Form: Much of the lid quillwork is covered in a star formation. In the center is a 8-pt. brown asterisk, measuring 2.25 inches across, within which is an offset asterisk of .75 inches across. These are surrounded by an 8-pt. white star (3 in. across), which in turn is inside of a larger 8-pt. star (approx. 5.5 in. across). This outer star is encircled by a ring of white quills. All of the spaces inside/between all of the above star points are filled in with white quills cross-hatched at an angle. Another ring of white quills outlines the edge of the lid, creating an outer band around the lid. Within this band is a repeating pattern of 7 white quills lined up vertically and bunched together in the middle by a horizontal quill. Between these are an asterisk/diamond formed by many overlapping small quills. Around the sides of the box in two bands (upper and lower) is the same pattern, except the bunched quills have 9, rather than 7, and the area between has a cross-hatched diamond of quills. Bands of sweet grass are bound around the edges of the lid and base, and in the middle where they meet, by black stitching. The inside is lined with bark to hide the quill ends. 2. Material and Color: Bark (birch) - med. brown (R216 G168 B105) to (R210 G146 B62) Cotton thread - black Sweet grass - faded yellow, (R238 G219 B168) tinged with green Quills - white to dark brown (R122 G91 B45) 3.
