An early 19th c miniature polychrome straw work box inlaid with First Nations figures and imagery. Purchased in a landmark 1990 Canadiana sale at Pinney's. While its origin at the time was a bit of guesswork, a couple of pictorial straw work marquetry panels have surfaced since then depicting scenes of Quebec City. It is possible these are related or even by the same hand as the box. It may be unique.
