Found this handwoven basket at a estate sale. I might have paid a little to much for it.
The only reason I brought it is it very tight weave. Can anybody help me identify where and who might have made this. I paid 50 for it. Thank you for any help. Catfish jim image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

Wish I could say more than it’s a eye catching piece, but it doesn’t look very old to me.

I Wish I knew more about this smaller basket that I have.

Jim,
You're basket does not look at all Native American to me......could possibly be African but I've only seen a few African pieces so I'm not sure where else it might be from.

Quito's does look to be a NA coiled basket....possibly from the SW USA
