    Description

    Being offered is a vintage, Makah Indian, hand crafted basket.  The basket shows some birds that look like ducks with 2 men in a boat.  I would assume this was a hunting scene.  The basket does show age and some age related coloration.  Overall, the basket looks intact, with no missing portions, staves are intact, and the weave remains tight.  The basket is a bit floppy but this is characteristic of Makah and Nootka baskets.  Their baskets are crafted from cedar bark, bear grass and raffia, as well as other native grasses.  Approx. 2 5/8" tall by 4 3/4" by 4 7/8" at the top rims.  SH price includes insurance.
    I found some information on the Makah on the Wikipedia website which stated, "The Makah are an indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast living in Washington, in the northwestern part of the continental United States.  Linguistically and ethnographically, they are closely related to the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) and Ditidaht peoples of the West Coast of Vancouver Island, who live across the Strait of Juan de Fuca in British Columbia, Canada.  The Makah Indian Tribe own the Makah Indian Reservation on the northwest tip of the Olympic Peninsula; it includes Tatoosh Island. They live in and around the town of Neah Bay, Washington, a small fishing village.  The Makah people refer to themselves as Kwih-dich-chuh-ahtx (Qʷidiččaʔa·tx̌) which translates to somewhere near to "the people who live by the rocks and seagulls"
    I stand behind all my Native American Indian crafted items to be as represented, and provide a full unconditional refund, including return shipping if the item is not authentic and as described.   My Native Indian arts, crafts, and jewelry are purchased directly from Natives, usually in Arizona, South Dakota, New Mexico, as well as buying from specialty auctions and sales.  In addition, I sell items for Native Americans and from personal collections.  As a result, there is no time limitation on returns, but items returned need to be in their original condition.
    Please feel free to contact me with any questions about my items. I stand behind my merchandise and provide a full refund if items are not as described.  Purchase with confidence as I do want customers to be satisfied with their purchase.  Check-out my other items for sale and auction.  Buyer pays a flat shipping rate.  I do combine items to save on shipping costs.   Please let me know ahead of time.
    Check out my Ebay shipping terms.  PLEASE NOTE:  Shipping items could take up to 5 business days, or 7 regular days once payment is made due to being an old man with arthritis, back issues, and a host of other medical problems.  I will try my best to get the item out sooner.  Thanks for your business.
