This is a Yekuana basket, from the Amazon region of Venezuela. The distinctive flared shape identifies it as a "wiwa" or vase-shaped basket woven by the women of the tribe. Men weave a different style basket.
If you want to confirm, they are illustrated in "Art of the Basket, Traditional Basketry from Around the World" by Bryan Sentance, and on several web sites.
Thank you!
