Sylvia, her mother Mary, and her sister Deborah Brooks are wonderful examples of multi generational basket making in the Wabanaki communities. Sylvia's basket making legacy lives on, as she taught Gal Frey to weave; Gal, in turn, taught her son Jeremy to weave. The basket has a wonderful golden patina. The cover bows, creating a space between the sides and the cover. Basket is 10 1 2 inches
