Can you help me identify these baskets? I think the first is either Hopi or Washoe Degikup? Age? I know one is not, but if you know anything about the pink hand made basket, would appreciate any information

First one is Hopi, made on the Second Mesa. It's a bundle-coiled basket with non-interlocking stitches, made from yucca. It most likely dates to the first quarter of the 20th century. The more recent, the smaller the coils, and the more elaborate designs, plus the colors are much brighter.
Can't tell for sure where the second basket came from, only can confirm that it isn't Native American.
Like that first basket muchly!
