    The colors and the shiny finish on this do not look right for a NA basket, but the stitches, material (yucca?), and 2-rod base looked enough like Southwestern baskets that I took a chance at $9.

    I ask, once again, for your guys' opinions and comments. Thank you!

    It looks like the foundation may be 3 rod, bunched, with 2 rods only in the last zig-zag coil of the rim. It also looks like the rim may have been a little experimental, as the zig-zags don't appear to be evenly distributed. The colors, 3-rod bunch foundation, and the shape of the stitches makes me think it might be Jicarilla Apache. They did make non-traditional shapes sometimes.

    Interesting! Good observations @2manybooks. Thanks. I'll look in that direction.
