    Can anyone identify which nation that made this antique First Nations basket? I see it on my friend's wall often and no one knows what tribe it came from. It could even be from Alaska area.
    Thanks!

      Based on the photo, it is Southwest U.S., not Pacific West Coast or First Nations. It's either White Mountain Apache or Pima, depending on the coiling technique used.

      Both made willow baskets with a black center and rim, although the pattern layout on this points more toward White Mountain Apache. They used a three-rod coiling technique, Pima used bundle coiling (and later baskets were made from other material as well.)

      Thank you CanyonRoad!

      You are correct, when I asked again about this basket it was not from the coast.

      I've added another close up to see if that would help identify between Pima and Apache. I think you are right about White Mountain Apache. Do you think it dates to pre 1900?
