    Does anyone have any idea about the age or origion of this basket. It is huge with two crossing handles. It is 11" tall and 22 1/2" across.

    TIA, Bryan

    This spoke-like start, with the little hole in the center, is usually indicative of coiled baskets from Indonesia. While I haven't seen this particular basket before, I'm fairly confident that it's from southeast Asia, and probably pretty recent, like within the last ten years or so.

    The material sewing the coils together looks like nito vine, native to that part of the world, and found especially in the Philippines.
