Up for sale is a nice Native American Indian . The basket is a little over 5 inches tall and 5 inches wide . looks to be damage around the rim as seen.What I can tell you is that it is a twined basket, made with a full-twist twining stitch (which means that the design shows on both sides of the basket.) That is a technique used in north eastern California, as opposed to north western California, where a half-twist twining stitch is used, and the design shows on only one side.In this specific case, if that is a wire-reinforced top rim, it\'s an unusual technique, and may be a repair, or may be the identifying characteristic of a specific basket maker\'s work. It\'s not something I\'m personally familiar with, but someone else may know. The light colored stitches on the bottom also may be a \"signature\" of a specific weaver.
This basket has some characteristics of Wintu, Atsugewi (Hat Creek) , and Achumawi (Pitt River). Considering that it\'s made with full twist twining, with a wrapped rim, and that design pattern on the top (usually called a \"quail feather\" pattern), I\'d say it\'s probably Pitt River. A nice person passed this info asI don\'t Know much about this basket so Please ask questions the photos don\'t answer and payment is due 48 hours after winning.
