<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 1055900, member: 45&quot;]EBay is not a good choice for identifying Native American baskets.&nbsp; On any given day, up to 80% of the baskets under Newly Listed, are misidentified.&nbsp; Most are not even Native American.</p><p><br /></p><p>The example in the link above is a good example.&nbsp; As Komo said, it&#039;s Indonesian, from Lombok.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would agree, the basket the OP shows is not Native American.&nbsp; The combination of the material used, and the construction technique is not that of any Native American tribe&#039;s basketry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rather than trying to use the internet, which can be confusing, misleading, and time consuming when attempting to learn more about baskets, I would suggest getting the book <u>Art of the Basket, Traditional Basketry from Around the World</u> by Bryan Sentace, which covers materials and techniques, as well as many of the baskets one is likely to encounter, which are usually misidentified as Native American Indian.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
