Basket Cylinder

This is just over 6" / 16 cm tall and 3.75" / 9.5 cm wide.

Any ideas as to origin?

Thank you as always.

 

I'm thinking this might be a confusing one, so here's some more pics.

It is not a Native tradition that I immediately recognize.

My first impression is that it was made by someone still learning/experimenting with basketmaking. The start on the base is rather clunky, and they have not mastered a technique for the rim/border, which can be one of the more difficult parts of a basket. It is also a size that is quite close to that of a large bean can. Learners sometimes start by weaving over a convenient form, such as a can. It helps in maintaining a consistent shape.

I am not sure about the materials used, but it looks like the stakes/spokes might be a type of cane (split), and the twining might be raffia. Not sure.

 

Thanks for the feedback 2mb.
