Identifier:

This birchbark container, called a rogan, has a two-piece lid, with one attached to the main container with a cord, although the cord is broken and the lid has marked bowing. There are floral designs stenciled on the outside of the container. The double lid feature makes a rogan handy for berry picking and food storage.
