I got this basket at an antique show a couple years ago and otherwise don’t know much about it. I have been reading up, in books and in old posts here, but I just can’t get an ID on this. The material in the basket looks different to me than other NA baskets, but I’m going around and around. Thanks for any help or advice!

    Possibly Seri, but the stitches look like a softer material than their traditional torote (Jatropha cuneata).

    Def looks like an imitation Panamint is the answer. Thank you!
