[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 8341978, member: 45"]I agree with 2manybooks, this is a contemporary "fake" Indian basket made in Pakistan. Missionaries introduced the practice, showing the weavers photos of Indian baskets, and asking them to make copies, supposedly to provide a source of income to the local population. It proved so successful, that the Pueblo of Santo Domingo (last time I stopped there) now sells Pakistani baskets, minus the paper tags that say "Made in Pakistan." And not a single locally-made Indian product in their popular stop on I-25 between Santa Fe and Albuquerque.[/QUOTE]
