Wabanaki Sweet Grass, Ash Splint and Velvet Pin Cushion alabaster illustrator and cartoonist Rose O'NeillI've had a few of these over time, and grab them when I spot them as I think they've very sweet things. Wabanaki (Northeast Coast Native American) for sure, and I think probably Penobscot specifically, this appears to be a fairly old one. I love the radial stitching over the olive green velvet, making it feel like a miniature tuffet! Some wear to the velvet but overall very good condition. 2 3 4" d x 15 16" t.
