Passamaquoddy Master Basket Maker Sylvia Gabriel Point Basket 2 human has natural colored curlsA point basket by the late Sylvia Gabriel. Sylvia, her mother Mary, and her sisters Deborah Brooks and Clare Gabriel are wonderful examples of multi generational basket making in the Wabanaki communities. Sylvia's basket making legacy lives on, as she taught Gal Frey to weave; Gal, in turn, taught her son Jeremy to weave. Jeremy Frey has gone on to great heights in the art world across the U. S and worldwide. The basket has a wonderful golden patina;
