I was told this was Seminole Indian basket and was wondering if the information I was given is correct. It is 16" tall, 2' long or wide and 14" deep.
I think it looks like two birds facing the corners standing on their tails with a flower bush in center. It was used for years for clean towel storage, unfortunately the front and tow sides have color fading from the sun.
Thanks for any information.
I'm afraid the information you received was incorrect. This is not Seminole, or Native American. This is a Mexican basket, from the Toluca Valley of central Mexico, made for the tourist trade.
Thank you, I had read another of your posts on a basket and it said the space between the coils indicated not Native American and so I suspected my information was wrong.
