It can be difficult to pinpoint the more modern, commercial styles of baskets.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the ones you have shown are probably from Kenya. Although not exactly the same, these are made with the same technique and material as the first of your (larger) photos -</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/428017177_896009845863602_4121949220681321169_n.jpg?stp=c160.0.640.640a_dst-jpg_s206x206&amp;_nc_cat=101&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=50ad20&amp;_nc_ohc=sbnyBWl5sD0Q7kNvgHBmcXF&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&amp;_nc_gid=AOGouJSR5dML_yaKNP2fo2s&amp;oh=00_AYAyuG--GiVC-VSYOCWi657K1S_4a9QGdqKmXBKYlGLkzQ&amp;oe=67355ECC" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/basketske/photos/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.facebook.com/basketske/photos/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/basketske/photos/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This shutterstock image shows a basket with the spaced coil stitching, similar to the other baskets you have.

This type would be quick to make, and require a minimum of materials.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
