Featured Miniature baskets ID's needed

Picked these at the local swap today(Northern Arizona).
The basket is 4inches tall and 3 3/4" wide.
The tray is 4inches wide and 1inch deep.
I would like to get the locations or tribes they are from.
Thanks so much for any insight.

Baskets made by coiling can be more difficult to identify, as the technique is nearly universal.

Your little dish is quite faded, obscuring the colors and design, but it looks like there are animal figures around the edge. It looks similar to this type of contemporary decorative basket being offered by several importers.

I cannot find any sites that admit where these baskets are being made, but many baskets described as "southwest inspired" are coming out of Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan.

Native American coiled baskets are usually well finished on both the interior and exterior. Yours is quite rough on the outside.

 

leading me to think Pakistan....

 

the other one is a frequent copy of a Native American design, made in Pakistan.

The telling signs are the materials used, the difference between the front and back (where the back is left "unfinished"), the material used (not one found on any Native American basket), and the fact that it uses a design pattern not found on the original Apache pattern (a bundle coil rather than than a rod construction).

It looks like an "Apache" design, until you notice the details! That's why it's been a popular seller for years.

 

Thank you very much !!!! chipperdoug
