Indian basket purse

[TurtleRay]

Hello! I'm looking for any information about this purse. It's woven with a southwestern design, and looks like it was made by Native Americans. I have no idea where to find any information about its origin or tribe. Any info or ideas would be so appreciated thanks!

Hello,

Could you post a close up photo of the weave, please? It appears it is Mexican, Central American or South American. But I am not really sure, just what it looks like to me.

It is very nice.

Thank you! Here are close ups of the weave

It looks like a Southwest coil-woven basket purse to me - probably Pima (they tend to us only two colour patterns), but there are other groups who do these types of coil-weaving. It's not really old (it hasn't darkened with age), but maybe 1970s-80s at the earliest.

Thanks Jonathan! That is so helpful
