<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 10511532, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i came across this basket last week in one of my favorite thrift stores. it immediately jumped out at me. i love the primitive art design. i assumed it was African because there were several other African pieces here and there in the store, but i haven't been able to find anything like this online. the closest match i've found, in terms of the weaving, is Panamanian. it stands 9.5 inches in height. i really didn't think it would be too difficult to identify, but it has turned out to be something i'm really not sure of. i'm hoping someone here on this discussion forum has some ideas. also, all of the pics have a liberal amount of photoshop burn through the centers as the flash really lightened up that area. among other things, this basket has a beautiful rich variation to the colors...thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]528493[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]528494[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]528495[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]528496[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]528497[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]528498[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]528499[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
