    This little basket is intricately woven with a shiny, hard grass. Its pattern on the base and around the top is totally unique using serrated detail on the rim which is surprisingly hard and strong. It's a beautiful basket! It's about five inches in height and width. I don't know its origins, just another one in our old collect from about thirty years ago.

      This basket was made by the Tarahumara natives in Mexico.

      Thank you for your input. We really have no idea where to start with our baskets and other Indian items which were collected for literally 50 years. We don't know what they are and haven't been able to get our museum curator to give us the time of day. You seem to really know about this stuff. We have more, too. Is there anyway to contact one another from this website?

      I do not think there is a way to message back and forth on here, talking about buying or selling items put on this website are a BIG no no here and I think CW bosses are not going to give people a venue that would allow users possibly breaking the rules. But I will give you my email addy : sweet.melissa2@yahoo.com. Feel free to contact me and I will help you out as much as I am able to. If I don't know for sure about a certain basket I will tell you so. I am not an expert with this, I am a private collector only and I do not sell anything.

      As for the curator, him/her not talking to you may be because they do not know anything about them. My suggestion would be if you have home owners or renters insurance, to ask for an appraiser to come to check out what you have. Once the appraisal is done, you would have to have these insured bu using a separate rider.

      Insurance companies use separate "riders" for valuables like gold or silver, gemstones/jewelry, valuable Native American items ect .
