Description:
The Wendat (Huron) woman who made this miniature settee cleverly manipulated the birchbark to mimic a classic Empire-style settee. She capped this achievement with an exuberant display of moosehair embroidery. The flamboyance of the settee was a perfect foil to demonstrate her command of floral imagery.
