Featured Fine basket: Haida?

Found this great score today.

Invaluable shows one that matches it pretty perfectly, ID'd as Tlingit or Haida.

American Indian Baskets by Turnbaugh and Turnbaugh (2013) has a similar basket on page 167 ID'd as Haida.

Of course, people here are the real experts! Any help and comments appreciated!



Online one:

 

Chinese rush basket...... 1980's or later....much later.....

...Haida basket................. spruce root........ notice the difference in the weave and fibre .......

 

Sorry Charley ...

 

Dang! Ok. Thanks for the ID.

 

I've seen more Chinese rush baskets identified as Haida / Tlingit / NWC baskets.... than I have real ones identified as such....

It's a common web error !

 

Wait--- errors on the web?!?

Well, error on my part too. I should have looked more closely at the materials.

Still a finely woven basket, for which it won't be hard to get my money back.

Thanks again Komo!

 

I got nailed for one of these several years ago at an auction. I thought the basket was so pretty and no one was really bidding it up so I won it. When they handed it to me, I turned it over and there was a Made in China sticker on the bottom, LOL. I should have been more thorough at the preview.

 

Still a dang pretty basket Pott.

 

the earlier ones had more color.......

 

I remember those, I had one when I was a kid.
