Porcupine quillwork was used to decorate a variety of items, both for ceremonial and daily use to Indigenous men and women. These include clothing such as coats and moccasins, accessories such as bags and belts, furniture attachments such as a cradle cover, and rawhide and tanned hides. During the 19th century, quilled birch bark boxes became a popular trade item that was sold to European-Americans among Eastern and Great Lakes tribes.
