That basket was African. This one was described only as NA when I bought it. It looks NA to me but I don’t know anymore about it. What say y’all? It’s only 3” high or so.

    The technique is not one that is used by Native Americans of the US or Canada, but it is very characteristic of Mexican baskets made in the Toluca Valley.

    In retrospect I would agree. I won’t lose any sleep over it though. I wouldn’t pay it knowing what I know now but it was worth a shot at the time. I like to gamble and when necessary find out what I have after the fact. My batting average would make me a first ballot hall of famer where it stands so all good.
