These baskets are primarily made in the southeast US and are composed of pine needles and raffia. The tray would be very pretty as a vanity tray in a Victorian room! 2/09x3  Vintage Papago basket.

Purchased this basket at a Pow Wow in MI about 30 years ago w/another basket for sale separately. Said to be Iroquoian and I believe it is.

The exterior colors are quite faded, however, the interior is still quite bright as you can see in the pictures. This basket is 3.25 tall x 6.25 wide. Likely a small sewing basket. In the book titled: Indian Baskets by S.P. Turnbaugh, 1986, 1997, 2004 edition, page 124, you will see a picture of an almost identical basket, same braided piece on the top of the basket.  Vintage Native American basket. Really nice Native American basket; purchased at a Pow Wow in MI about 30 years ago. Said to be Iroquoian, but I think it might be Cherokee; purchased at a Pow Wow in MI; age est: early 20thC.
