Interesting basket made of loosely plaited wide cedar bark strips with three bands of two strand twining with grass(?) just below the rim. I would guess that this is possibly Coastal Salish.

There are three bands of two-strand twining below the rim- the grass continues to form a coil that attaches an additional cedar bark strip around the inside of the rim.
