<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9748370, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i found this basket a few days ago. It stands approximately 8.25 inches in height and 10.5 inches across at the top from outside edge to outside edge. i believe it's pretty old and someone else that deals with these pieces said he thought 1890s. he thought it was made for tourists because of the base, which he said was unusual. i'm looking at what appears to be ground food worked into the interior in between each of the individual reeds and thinking it was actually used by Pima people in food preparation. the other reason i thought it might have been used culturally by Pima people is that it has a more conservative design to it. i'm hoping someone on this site has knowledge of Pima baskets. have you ever seen this design before? that is, with the base? could this be earlier than 1890s? also, i want to sell it. what would be a good asking price on ebay for something like this? any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks[ATTACH=full]478254[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478255[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]478259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
