This looks like the same chest, unsold at a Connecticut auction in April this year -...
Thank you for the additional photos. They are not focused as well as might be ideal, but I think the yarns look like they may be handspun, with...
@RedHillRascal - here is a really good example of an analysis of an antique coverlet. It explains the features that are important in determining a...
The construction is not what I would have expected, with two layers of wood. The same ground preparation and paint appear to cover both layers on...
We need to see some good closeups of the weave (good enough to see the characteristics of the yarn), how the seams between pieces are done, and...
Welcome, Dimitris. As Bev suggested, can you please go back and edit your post, and select "Full Image" for your photos (rather than "Thumbnail")....
I agree with @komokwa that the quality is not what I would associate with Navajo silversmithing. One thing I notice is that the round hollow beads...
I guess it is a basket, then. (or you have a tiny head. ;))
"Saint Joseph of Cupertino [Copertino] is the patron saint of pilots, Air Force, flying and students with learning disabilities."...
Hard to visualize - but does it fit on your head? A kufi is typically larger than a Jewish yamaka, more like a stocking cap. [ATTACH]...
My reference books described this technique, rather dismissively, as a 20th century innovation. It was quicker to make than older Washoe styles....
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...
Not sure about this one. It appears to be made of raffia palm fiber, which would explain the softness, and probably African. Rather than being a...
Another nice one. Most probably Hausa, from the Sahel region of West Africa. The bottom of the basket has been reinforced with leather - a typical...
I think probably Pima. Nice basket!
I think more likely European chinoiserie, rather than actual Japanese work. Urushi lacquer is quite durable - this looks more like a painted surface.
Whatever it carried would have to be quite small, and thin. Based on other descriptions, perhaps stamps, or miniature photos or other memorabilia...
The beer pots are made by Zulu women potters (South Africa), and the form is called an ukhamba (plural izinkamba). The two glossier ones, with...
The shape of the sword, and the script, look like it might be from the region of northeast India/Assam/Nagaland/etc.
I would not identify it as Pakistani. Their baskets are, more typically, closely stitched so that the coil bundle is not exposed. They also use...
Separate names with a comma.
