<p>[QUOTE="OldWhitby, post: 4072410, member: 17301"]I recently acquired this small basket. It seems to be very old and I believe it is native. Can anyone tell me where it was made and when and what its purpose is? It is 5.75" in diameter at top excluding the legs. It is 5.25" high and 9.5" across the legs at the bottom. The inside is painted red. The legs appear to have been painted silver originally and then painted red over that. There are deposits of clay? or mud? around the top and the way the paint has peeled off along the legs, I think it originally covered all the stitching.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]328876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]328877[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]328878[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]328879[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]328880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]328881[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]328884[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
