<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 3251445, member: 55"]Yes; though often mistaken for NW Coast native baskets, the Chinese baskets (older ones sometimes called "Nixon-era" or "prisoner baskets") were not made as fake NW Coast items, or intended to be such; they were just baskets made for export that happened to be easily mistaken for something else. The same is true for the Lombok baskets; it is just a coincidence so far as I know that they are often mistaken for something else; but both are genuine examples of what they are, Chinese or Lombok baskets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
