UNIQUE Vintage Native American Style Hand Woven Coiled Basket w/ Lid~UNUSUAL

Description

THIS IS A VERY NEAT BASKET....UNSURE OF ITS AGE....I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OF THESE
BEFORE SO HOPE I CAN DO IT JUSTICE WITH THE DESCRIPTION. IT STANDS ABOUT 3" TALL AND IS ABOUT 9 1/2" ACROSS....IT HAS A DETACHABLE LID. THE "GRASS" TYPE MATERIAL IS DIFFERENT. LOOKS LIKE STRANDS OF SOME SORT OF JUTE OR GRASS OR ??? THAT HAS BEEN WOUND AROUND TO MAKE THE BOWL... AND WHERE EACH STRAND ENDS THE PIECE HAS BEEN BANDED SO IT WON'T FRAY. THEN THERE ARE TWO COLORS....CREAM AND REDDISH COLORS THAT HAVE BEEN USED TO HOLD THE STRANDS TOGETHER....FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. I DO BELIEVE THIS IS A REALLY NEAT OLD PIECE. PERHAPS THERE ARE OTHERS MORE WELL VERSED THAN I AM AND CAN ENLIGHTEN ALL OF US. THANKS FOR LOOKING. MORE UNIQUE ITEMS TO BE UNEARTHED!
NOTE...IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION FROM ANOTHER EBAYER THAT THIS IS AN OLD LIDDED BASKET WITH MULTICOLORED RAFFIA AND PINE NEEDLE SHEATHS (ENDS) THAT ARE INTACT.
