Hi!! I’m Nathalie and I have quite a few things I’m looking for information or insight with

I’ve attached a photo of a woven piece, may be indigenous or African in nature? Does anyone have any knowledge pertaining to this piece?
Thank you kindly! Excited to be apart of this community!

 

African grain basket lid..

nigeria...

 

Made by the Hausa, of Nigeria, if you want to be more specific.

And also one of the most-commonly misidentified baskets on web marketplace sites. Listings are then picked up by bots, which means they show up under numerous searches on line, which leads to further misidentifications.

So kudos to you for asking here! (Researching baskets, especially on line, is usually frustrating, as well as inaccurate.) This site has earned a reputation accuracy, helpfulness, and for not making wild guesses.

 

Thankyou for your help I’m terrible with computers so hopefully I will not be too irritating till I master this site learn where to post and how lol thanks again
