Antique Native American Birch Bark Round Bowl Very Old Very Rare
This birch bark bowl is very old and it shows in the patina of the surface. The rim around the edge still has almost all of the stitching but you can see clearly the embedded soil between the stitches that almost makes the piece resemble an artifact. The discoloration and crackling of the outside surface could only have happened if it had been used near a open fire. It is not decorative or embellished in any way but was meant to be used. The surface has a smooth silky feel as if it had been handled many years and maybe once held oily meats or fish. Of course, it has no odor now, but it was a bowl that was certainly used often by the owner. I wish I knew the Native American tribe that would have made the bowl, but I have no idea. I just know that it looks and feels very old. It in no way compares to more modern birch bark bowls. This one goes way back in years and would be a piece for advance collectors of Native American artifacts. 11.5″ x 3.75″.

Michigan and the Great Lakes region is believed to have been occupied and travelled by indigenous populations for over 10,000 years prior to European settlement. Census Bureau in 2019, Michigan is one of 10 states with the largest population of Native Americans. The Ottawa, Ojibway, Chippewa, Potawatomi and others have a significant place in Michigan’s history. It is one of a kind, featuring the craftsmanship of one of the few Michigan Native American quill artists. The natural resources needed to create a porcupine quill box are birch bark, quills, sweetgrass and the traditional knowledge. Birch bark can only be collected once a year, then it must be left to dry for approximately 6 months or longer. The preparation of quills was labor intensive and timely as well. The quills had to be cleaned, sorted and dyed prior to use. The use of porcupine quills in decorative boxes is a rare commodity as traditional knowledge is on the brink of extinction. Height: approx 1.75 inches. Width: approx 2.25 inches.
