    I don’t know but a really strange thing happens when I scroll down your photos. The brownish part moves into the white part, I can see it move, not all the way but it moves over a few columns of the weave. Wierd!

    This one looks like yours, but we don’t know the size of yours, so difficult to compare. Getting dimensions from some people is worse than pulling teeth!

    The ad says it’s an Ethiopian bread basket. You could check whether yours is by visiting your nearby Ethiopian bakery and asking. Maybe each tribe has a different weaving color scheme?
