I don&#039;t believe that coiled conical shape is typical of any Native American (North, Meso, South or otherwise) basketry, either. It does not look like palm fiber stitching. It is hard to tell from the photos, but are the coils somewhat flattened, or are they round? If flattened, I would look more toward North or East Africa.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
