Basket 4 of 4

This one, I think, looks & feels like something modern and from somewhere in Asia. Then again, I have a hard time tying my shoes let alone offering a coherent description on an object.

hold the phone...... this could be the kicker...... Paiute....perhaps

single rod...open weave , left to right climbing stitch .....


Washoe ...is similar.....
.



to be fair...I get these puppies mixed up...and have never held one....
the base should tell the difference..... hopefully...

but unless I've become feeble in my old age....you've got a very nice 1st nations early 1900's basket there.........

 

King-sized thrift store jackpot-WOW ! My local GW would've either put these 4 baskets on Ebay or tossed 'em into the compacter.

 

I had never seen one of these, and had to do some research. But I think probably Washoe, as komo suggested. The technique is called single rod gap stitch. Compare with this one sold at Bonhams for $$$, but this one had provenance saying it was purchased directly from Dat-so-la-lee, a very famous weaver.

My reference books described this technique, rather dismissively, as a 20th century innovation. It was quicker to make than older Washoe styles.
Here is a link to more information about Dat-so-la-lee, which shows some of her close stitched work -

well , when the historians show her work....they don't show this...... they show brilliant geometrics on baskets so tight they hold water..
