<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 11480565, member: 55"]Nice large knob-top basket, either Makah or Nuu-Chah-Nulth (Nootka). A photo of the bottom might help decide which. Hard to date, as they fade very rapidly if exposed to sun, very slowly if kept out of the sun. Yours is a bit faded, but the inside will show the original vibrant colors.</p><p>The earliest designs were geometric, with the figural such as ducks and canoes coming a bit later (around 1910-20 perhaps), as the weavers discovered that the buyers liked the ducks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
