    I guess this is called a boat basket?, and not worth much from what I'm seeing but just checking. 21.5" x 8 1/4".

    Basket #4
    23" x 18" x 17" high (including handle). Looks like parts are woven with some type of wool (maybe) hair?
    Thanks for your time & thoughts.:)

    Ok I think basket #2 is an Ethiopian Gambela basket, from doing more searching. Please correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks:)

    #1 is African, made by Hausa from Nigeria.
    #2 is African, a Gambella basket, from Ethiopia.
    #3 is also African, a sifter or strainer from Morocco.
    #4 is a hobby or crafter's basket, of the style popular in the 1970s/1980s
