A Part of the Main
MPBN: Home Series, Moving Image, 0:26:01

As Europeans began to look seriously towards Maine as a desirable economic region, there were many debates about who owned or controlled the varied and plentiful natural resources, especially timber. In the mid-1800’s, the timber harvest from the communities in the far north woods traveled via the river communities to the prosperous coast where the wealth of natural resources set sail for the world beyond. Today, these distinct regions remain intact, each with a different story to tell about how history has played itself out since that time.

Apple Basket
Maine State Museum, Artifact

Round basket with basal platform, bottom is in two layers of double standards. Each layer has two thicknesses of standards (i.e. 4 thicknesses of standards but treated as two). Standards become thicker farther from center of basket. Weavers start at the center of basket and continue throughout. They are 1/8" thick. Where the basket would normally turn upwards, the double thickness standards are split, the top level continuing normally upwards, the bottom level is turned down, woven for 1-3/4" to form base. Some evidence of blue dye between weavers and standards.
