    Hello.

    I purchased this from an auction today and have no information about the basket or where it's from. It's around 8 inches round and an inch high. It has a butterfly woven into it. Made of straw I believe.

    Thank you.

      It's Mexican, not Native American, from the Toluca Valley in central Mexico. Made from palm fiber, and dates to the 1940/1950s. Here's a current listing from eBay for a similar one: 122300555211
