and then two trays inside held together with a screw

and also perhaps embodying transformation

8 x 2 15/16" x 1 1/4” d (together)

Total joy finding this one

Miniature Mohawk Splint Pack Basket, c. Early 20th Century gears and then two trays insideThis isn't in perfect condition but I found it way too sweet to leave behind; a miniature woven splint pack basket, feeling like a salesman sample though perhaps simply made for the tourist market. I found a near identical one of the same scale in the collection of the Coe Center in Santa Fe, identified as Mohawk, early 20th century, and I trust that is right. 4 5 16" t x 4 5 16" w x 2 1 2" d not including straps. Photos document it from every view,
