<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmbl, post: 1058033, member: 12467&quot;]Thank you all for your time and information, and immediate response.&nbsp; I have to admit that I&#039;m disappointed.&nbsp; I&#039;ve lived both in southeastern Africa and in Thailand, so I have a bit of familiarity with baskets from both regions of the world, and it didn&#039;t seem at all similar to African or East Asian baskets, at least from the shape and design - and the tightness of the weaving.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with you, most people on ebay don&#039;t know what they&#039;re talking about and I take it all with hefty dose of skepticism.&nbsp; I&#039;m mainly a glass person myself, with an interest in pottery.&nbsp; I have at least 20 linear feet of reference books in those subjects.&nbsp; Along the way I started collecting a bit of Native Pottery, and now that has seeped into wanting to become more familiar with baskets.</p><p><br /></p><p>Somewhere I picked up a reprinted copy of &quot;Indian Basketry&quot; by George Wharton James, which is rather offensive in its colonialist condescension, and tediously wordy.&nbsp; Still, its figure 279, with the same design motif as mine, made me think I was going in the right direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again to all. I&#039;m still interested if anyone has any more specific information on it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
