      When I lived in Kenya we also had these kind of baskets, table mats and I have a few beautiful bags, made of Sisal. I have put a link above, which says that Sisal was also used in the Americas.

      These bags and baskets are from Africa.

      It's African, but not made from sisal. This is a coiled palm fiber basket, made by the Hausa, from Nigeria. Illustrated on page 145 of "Art of the Basket, Traditional Basketry from Around the World" by Bryan Sentance, if you want a reference.
