    I found this years ago and loved it upon first sight. It’s a beautiful piece of indigenous handicraft. I live in AZ so I’m assuming it’s Native American but I really don’t know. The workmanship is phenomenal

      No, it's Asian, not Native American Indian, probably from either the Philippines or China.

      Where an item is found may have nothing to do with where it was made. In basketry, the first thing to aid in identifying that, is the material it is made from (which often is difficult, unless one is familiar with local vegetation from a variety of places.) After that is the weaving technique, the form, the particular stitch used, the start of the basket, the colors, and design patterns. It's the combination of those that determines where a basket was made.

      No Native American basket makers use this particular combination of material, single-rod construction, form, and stitching used to join the coils.
