I just took a pic of it and they are exactly the same. I only have my iphone so i gotta figure out how to post it using it.
Chris, just found out you are right. They are actually coping Native American Baskets in Pakistan/Kenya/Africa. Thanks. Dave
Its still a pretty cool basket. I keep mine on my dining room table.
Hi, I just purchased a basket, that looks very much like this one. How can I tell if it is authentic and by who, I would like to sell it.
thanks, Jusducky
This basket was made in Africa. Alot of baskets made there are confused with Native Americans basketry so do not feel bad. You can see them on the internet and they are called "Hausa Baskets".
