<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9488396, member: 8267"]An update, and revised opinion - when researching your basket I found a very similar one listed on etsy, which I purchased.

It appears to be a finely split vine rather than root, perhaps nito vine, which is used in the Philippines.

I would now lean more toward an origin in the Philippines (or somewhere nearby), although I have yet to find a well identified example that uses the same design technique - wrapping sections of the coil and varying the stitching to create a pattern. The nito baskets I have seen rely on color change to create the design while keeping the stitching pattern evenly spaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the one I acquired:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]445457[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps [USER=45]@Taupou[/USER] can shed more light on these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
