These look like 2 basket style hand woven trivets wondering if anyone knows where they came from? Native American?

They are definitely not Native American, since no Native American tribe uses that particular combination of technique, colors, and materials. The wrapped stitch connecting the coils is commonly used in Mexico, as are the bright colors, and I would suspect that's where it's from. But it could be from South America, or even China.

I can't determine from the photos what the design pattern represents, that may be a clue as to where it originated, as is the use of what looks like colored raffia. But all I can tell you for sure, is that it isn't Native American.
