    Hi All, this one has me stumped, is listed on a FB auction, listed as First Nations - is it a First Nations basket? It is 6 1/2" x 12" x 4"H, looks to have age to it, maybe made from cedar strips? . I found many similar on-line made out of seagrass and have a metal frame inside, some examples below the photos.

    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    You know... @komokwa seems a bit wishy-washy. You might want to get a second opinion.
