Today I am offering this beautiful old African Basket. It could be Zulu or Ethiopian. It is 4 1/2 “ by 16 1/4 “ and is in good condition considering how old it is. Please look at my photos. It has a footed bottom and there is leather on the rim and on the foot. I’ll start the offerding at $40.00. Please ask any questions before offerding and I will do my best to answer. Thanks, and good luck offerding!! Check out all my photos. Please ask me about any specific questions or concerns. Thanks for looking and good luck. Please read my shipping statement (third paragraph below). If I have misstated anything it is due to ignorance and not intent. Most all of the items I sell are vintage. As such most have lived very long eventful lives and as such will not look brand new. Unless I state items are \"NEW or MINT\" there is bound to be some amount of wear and aging. Thank you for considering this item I am selling today. I have been selling antiques for more than 30 years; however, that does not qualify me as an expert on all of the items I sell. I know more about some antiques than I do about others. I ask questions and research items as much as possible. On some items I only claim to know enough to write up a simple description of the item. I am a pretty good photographer, and I always try to get a good shot of specific and overall condition and of the signatures et cetera, so take a good look at all the photographs, after all, isn’t a picture worth a thousand words? I make every effort to describe my items as clearly and accurately as possible, but I want you to be aware that vintage items do have flaws, and wear that one expects to see on old or vintage items. These flaws, wear, or even damage are sometimes difficult to see and difficult to describe in an ad. If I see the problem, I assure you that I will describe the damage and if possible include a photo of that problem. I often list items that you as a collector are more familiar with than I am as a dealer, therefore you may know about possible problems and what to look for, that I may have overlooked. If you are in doubt please ask me as I want you to be satisfied with my answer. I strive for accuracy in my descriptions, and I\'m always happy to provide additional information and photographs especially if I am asked the right questions. SHIPPING STATEMENT: I pack all items very carefully with lots and lots of packing material, and I do not charge a handling fee unless I specify a packaging fee in the description. All my packages are tracked through and the Post Office. Sometimes I can find a better shipping price for my customers after the invoice is sent and the item is paid for, if that is the case, I always refund the customer any amounts overpaid. International shipping please see Global Shipping Costs from . California residents pay sales tax unless you provide me with a resale number. Thanks!
