<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 10406581, member: 8267&quot;]What is puzzling is the detailed history provided by an owner of a similar basket, attributing it to the Alabama-Coushatta of Texas (quoted previously in this post), including the name of the maker. </p><p><br /></p><p>Clearly, something got mixed up along the way, because the Philippines origin makes so much more sense - these baskets show an unfamiliarity with the technique as a recent introduction, not a traditional type of weaving in the Philippines. It does not seem to have been a long lived &quot;livelihood project&quot;. More recent examples of pine needle work offered by a fair trade business in the region are limited to small items such as earrings.</p><p><a href="https://everythingispine.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://everythingispine.com/" rel="nofollow">https://everythingispine.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
