4" Cardinal Tufted Quill Box by Mildred Aguonie
$ 650.00
Mildred Agounie, a First Nations artist, uses her incredible skill as a tufter and quill artist in this piece in order to create an incredibly lifelike cardinal that rests on a small tree branch. While tufting is an incredibly difficult technique, as are the techniques used to create the intricate designs on the side walls, Mildred did not stop the tufting with the cardinal, instead using the same technique to give the needles of the tree a third dimension. We hope you enjoy this incredible piece!

Oval Tufted Cardinal Quill Box by Marjorie Spanish
$ 650.00
From Manitoulin Island, Ontario, and a part of the Ojibwe First Nation, Marjorie Spanish created this beautiful cardinal scene using tufting techniques and dyed quills. Tufting is the incredibly difficult process used to give the quills a three-dimensional look that brings the piece to life. This cardinal is a beautiful example of that, seemingly nestled into the crook of a tree branch and surrounded by pine needles.
