Round serving dish with fruit motifs painted on the inside (oranges and grapes) made of rattan.

The object bears witness to a skill traditionally associated with or practiced by the Acadian population, namely culinary expertise, including food service.

The object may also bear witness to a Mi'kmaq skill, namely basketry. However, this latter possibility remains to be investigated.

Basket weaving was traditionally a task for both men and women. The men cut the ash splints, while the women wove the baskets. In addition to their traditional uses, these baskets were also sold at roadside stands to passing tourists. In Gesgapegiag, the tradition lives on thanks to several artisans, including Stephen Jerome: "Stephen Jerome is a unique professional artisan who has mastered the entire basket-making process. From choosing the tree along the Cascapédia River to creating flexible ribbons and weaving the baskets, there are many techniques involved and every detail is important. "You have to listen to the wood, feel it, make sure it has grown in optimal conditions," he explains."
