[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 9559592, member: 45"]First one is "neither." Based on the single-rod construction, the stitches used to join the coils, and the "hole-like" start, it's most likely from Lombok, Indonesia. The second one is bundle-coiled, wrapped with what appears to be palm fiber. Based on the type of stitches joining the coils, it probably is from Mexico. But several countries in Africa do make coiled baskets out of palm fiber, which is sometimes dyed. So since the overall construction isn't the best, and it isn't typical of any particular area, it might not be possible to determine where it was made.[/QUOTE]
