Maliseet baskets are traditional woven items created by the Maliseet (also known as Malecite) people, part of the Wabanaki Confederacy in what is now Maine (USA) and New Brunswick (Canada).

 

Maliseet artisans are renowned for their skill in basketry, particularly using brown ash (black ash, Fraxinus nigra) splints, often combined with sweetgrass. These baskets serve both practical and artistic purposes and form part of a broader Wabanaki (Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, Maliseet, Mi'kmaq) tradition.

Shipping

U.S. Shipping: One Flat Rate Per Order

Every U.S. order is packed in-house at our gallery and ships insured via USPS or UPS, with signature required on delivery. You pay one flat rate for the whole order, never per item:

  • Fetishes: $8
  • Jewelry & Pottery: $15
  • All other pieces: $20

Buying from more than one category? You only pay the highest rate in your cart, so eight fetishes and a pair of earrings ship together for just $15.

Oversized Pieces

Large or heavy pieces, such as big pottery, baskets, rugs and framed art, are custom-packed and shipped at actual cost. As a guide, that's anything needing a box larger than 12" × 12" × 12" or weighing over 5 lbs. At checkout, choose Oversized – Shipping Invoiced Separately and we'll email your shipping invoice, usually within 24 hours. Contact us for an estimate before you buy.

International

International orders are welcome! We quote international shipping separately and invoice the actual postage after purchase. Contact us beforehand if you'd like an estimate.
