<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 5940811, member: 55"]Yes, this is Makah. Not all had lids, and I think this one likely never had a lid. There are several methods for making a lidded Makah basket, but the most common would have a rim of Cedar bark above the main weaving, which this does not; the lid would then fit onto that rim.</p><p>A second method would have the cedar-bark rim woven onto the lid, and the lid would then fit inside the body of the basket. It is possible this was originally one of that style, now missing a lid; but I think it more likely this was simply made in this lidless format.</p><p>It shows a geometric pattern, now so faded as to be almost invisible; but keeping it out of sunlight would preserve what little remains. </p><p>I'd say 1920s is about right.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
