<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4553933, member: 8267"]The distinctive herringbone rim on the first one does appear on early Pima baskets, (as well as Navajo, Paiute, Jicarillas Apache, and Havasupai baskets). The basic shape looks like it could be Pima. But the traditional coil foundation of Pima baskets would typically be split cattail stems, and the foundation on your basket looks more like rods of stiffer woody material. I can't tell from the photos if it is consistently 3 rods, or perhaps more. 3 or 5 rod foundations are more characteristic of Jicarilla Apache baskets. Is there any sign of more colors in a design that may have faded?</p><p><br /></p><p>I find damaged baskets very helpful in learning about the construction techniques.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
