[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 5192637, member: 8267"]Stand back and let us see the whole shape. Is that a solid rim on the lid? The stitching fiber looks like raffia. I can't tell what the core of the coils is, but it seems to be visible at the rim of the lid, where the coiling begins. How big is it? The style of stitching, with the alternating, interlocking stitches, has been commonly taught for hobbyist weavers using raffia since the late 19th - early 20th century. But this basket appears better made than most of the amateur pieces I have seen.[/QUOTE]
