<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 274117, member: 45&quot;]This is a collection of baskets from all over the world...Africa, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Central or South America...but none is Native American.&nbsp; (The little pot is, however, Acoma, ca.1930s.)</p><p><br /></p><p>In the first picture, the little one on the bottom right is from the Philippines, made from a local plant called <i>nito</i>.&nbsp; The one in the upper left, with the lid and the beads, is from Lombok, Indonesia.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the fifth photo, the large platter in the back is also from Lombok.&nbsp; It&#039;s a<i> ketak </i>grass basket made by the Sasak people of West Lombok.&nbsp; The smaller one in front of it, with the red center, is African, from Nigeria.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lidded one in front of the Acoma pot is from east Africa, Sudan or Ethiopia, as is the one next to it, missing its lid.</p><p><br /></p><p>The large one, with the split stitch coiling and the triangular stitched design is from Central or South America.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen them before, but just can&#039;t remember right now.&nbsp; If I have time tomorrow, I can possibly check a couple books on Central and South American crafts and see if I can find something more specific.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
