<p>[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 4496067, member: 45"]I would agree, the first basket is African, most likely from Rwanda. Considered "central" African, since it doesn't border the sea, but is next to Uganda and Tanzania. Both of the later make similar baskets, but the rounded top of the lid is more characteristic of baskets from Rwanda, while the others are more pointed.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second basket is Chinese. They are sometimes mistaken for Makah or Nootka baskets, since they are often woven over bottles, but the material is different, as are the stitches used. Makah baskets use cedar and beargrass, while these Chinese baskets use a type of rush found in China. The Chinese baskets also have long, "skinny" stitches, while the Makah are almost square, and use a different type of start on the bottom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
