    Description

    Up for auction is a large native basket with lid.  Basket weighs 2 lbs 9 oz. and is very stiff.  Unknown manufacture date but it is old.  The person I bought it from about 10 years ago said his family had a first nations museum in Canada and this was on display there.  He didn't have any provenance but said his parents traveled the world collecting baskets so I can't guarantee this is a first nations basket, only that the original owner thought it was.  If anyone has a good argument why it's not, please message me.
    Basket is approximately 9 3/4" high.  Lid is appx. 9 inches in diameter.  Handle is 13.5" high.  Bottom diameter is 14.25".  Width varies but it looks like the widest portion is approx. 16.5" in diameter.
    Buyer pays .50 standard shipping to Contiguous United States.  Basket will be shipped within 2 days of receiving payment.  Thanks for viewing my auction.
