Canoe Model with Dolls
1780/1820
The Mashantucket Pequot Museum & Research Center
Mashantucket, United States
This model canoe with its accompanying dolls and accessories was the product of French Canadian nuns and Abenaki or Huron converts working together in a thriving cottage industry in Montreal and Quebec. Many of the items they made were sent back to Europe either as gifts to Catholic churches in France or to fill the curio cabinets of Europe’s elite.
